About 10 years ago I was at an Ohio Gun Collector's show. Hank Williams Jr had a table of his Colts that I was looking at. A guy brought over a Patterson in what most would have called very poor condition. Hank and his friends behind the table were very interested in that little gun. It made an impression me that a collector that could afford rare guns in good condition was so interested in such a poor one. I didn't hang around long enough to know if he made an offer to buy.
