Thanks for all of the information and replies. They seem to echo all of the thoughts that are running through my head.

And yet, isn't it interesting, that nobody has responded by saying, "Yes, I have one and I have shot it from the bench, and it gets x-inch groups and it likes heavyweight (or lightweight) bullets."?

This is what makes me think that they have all been locked away in safes as collectors.

The one pointed out for sale at Collectors Firearms is a hard to use as a price gauge. It appears to be one of the ones with the Circassian walnut, which have the highest collector demand. And, it appears to me that almost every gun listed on GunsAmerica or GunsInternational is priced at fair value plus $300 to $500 dollars. (Lots and lots of sucker trolling on those sites.)
