SWEET.

New one on me. Never heard of that make. Must be a quality piece, or they are just proud of it. $$$

Doesn't look half bad.

It's the sixgun John Linebaugh rebuilt to .45LC, surpassed the .44 mag, and got famous/controversial with...... in a nutshell :wink:

They're good guns, some vintages better than others but I'm afraid the collectors have discovered them. Thus the high price, which IMHO, is not justified in a significant increase in quality over a Ruger. Not for a shooter anyway and parts are scarce.

$1,200 is high....that isn't a rare Seville variant. Heck, you can still get the stretch-frames for $400 less than that.

Well, if a rat of a 10" FT is worth $1,000 these days, (Last one I saw locally) I reckon that minty Seville might be worth $1,200....Depends how badly one wants it... :wink:

Comparing Sevilles and Rugers is like apples to oranges. Rare Blackhawks are pursued by a much bigger pool of Ruger collectors than their Seville counterparts. Really comes down to demand....and demand for old Rugers is much higher than demand for Sevilles, El Dorados, and Abilenes.
