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
