Steelhead,
That picture almost looks painted... Great shot!
I have bought two pre-safety 1884 357's in the last 2 years. Both were about $500.
I bought a 1894CP a few weeks back for $350. Deals are out there. Just gotta be ready when you find one. If you "think about it" it will be too late. There are certain guns that if i find for certain prices, they get bought without any hesitation. A 357 marlin for under $600 is one. A 45 H&R Classic Carbine for under $250 is another, and a 45 or 357 Ruger single action (especially old model) for under $350 is another.
