My wants are relatively mundane (and yes, I've "found" them all at various times but never at times when I could afford them....): a fancy pistol-gripped "Special Sporting" Win 1885 Lo-wall 25-20 SS or .32-20 in great shape; a Colt Bisley 7 1/2" .38-40 in great shape, and an LC Smith Ideal Grade "short 10" (did I mention, the "great shape"?).
What I mean by "great shape" is lightly enough used so you can get some sense of what they were like when they were new, but used enough that I feel OK shooting the heck out of 'em and can invent great tales about their former uses and users.....(How many Beesleys DID 'ole Doroteo Arango pack, anyway? I've got at least one of them and have been offered several more....plus Lugers, other thumbusters of several brands, etc).
