6 million dollar Colt SAA.

[Hangfire]

Seeing that the bidding was starting to get out of hand I stopped bidding at 4.5 million ().......the gun that killed Billy the Kid just went for a little over 6 million dollars.

Imagine having the kind of scratch where you could drop $6M on a pistol that will just sit in a display case and be of no practical use…

Do we really know that is THE GUN that killed Billy the Kid? For six million dollars, I want ballistic tests.

And.... GUNS don't kill people, PEOPLE kill people, right?

Some interesting stuff at the Bonham link. They collected a lot of provenance along with their firearms.

Some guys on here would offer him $450 it and be serious.

Well... some folks say, "Money can't buy happiness."

But I gotta feeling those "some folks" have never been dead broke either...

Been there myself a time or two. Always a possibility I could get there again.
But while money might not buy happiness it'll buy a boat and that's pretty close.
