In 1997 got a 1988 S&W 29-4 44 mag like new in box at a gun store for $200.
It had been on consignment for one minute.
Back then it was worth $400 anywhere.
Now it is worth more like $800.

I could put the original grips on for the pic, but I didn't.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
