I'm always looking for Colt "New Service" .44 WCF in decent condition that I can afford. The last phrase is the key one; I've found several, but they were at "collector prices" 'way out of my reach. I have my grandfather's "Old Model" NS .44 and don't shoot it any more, but would like to find a decent one to shoot.
You used to be able to find a frame off an abused one and fit it with factory parts in just about any caliber, but those days are long gone. Fortunately I made up a 7 1/2" in ".44 Smith and Wesson Russian and Special" before all the parts disappeared. (Found the cylinder on a client's desk--he was using it as a pencil holder! Talk about dumb, and dumb luck on my part!)
