The one that I have looks mint, but has been fired. At least it has been fired by me. I have it in its original serialized box. This one means very little to me as I have a small collection of other 7.5" 44s that I do like better....but I may be thinning my herd to start getting a little variety in my collection. If there is any interest in it, I might be willing to sell it to someone who would appreciate it more than myself. As it stands right now, I have plans to use that frame on the 1979 4.5" unfired 45 I just picked up. I ordered a couple different sets of blanks from Chad at Chigs to make for it. I'm not opposed to selling it off and using that money for a RW frankenfab brass frame for it instead. I would almost be willing to sell it to a member on here before I do this if interested....but the problem is that I would then need to locate a Bisley, and hammer to go with the frame.....So I am open to suggestions.
I bought it off of Gunbroker on 7/28. Item #1057918890. Total cost $550.30 + $25 transfer fee.
I'm giving this info so if anyone is interested they can look at the gun, and make offers as they see fit.
I was able to get it cheap because the gunshop didn't know it was a Bisley..Well, the OWNER did. He sounded pissed at whichever employee did the posting. I don't mind sharing the find with someone who'd appreciate it. I just don't want to lose my shirt on the deal when I have to buy the other items to build what I want.
