Charlie T Waite Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Just picked up a set of NIB John Wayne Single-Six 32 H&R Magnum Birdshead Revolvers - with low consecutive serial numbers DUKEXX4XX. Was going to use then for GF, but decided that before I break the seals & load them up I need to research the value. Anyone have any suggestions of where to look? Thanks CTW
Major Art Tillery Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Shoot em . They only got value if you are going to sale them. Just my two cents pard
Three Foot Johnson Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Yep. If you bought them for resale, get on it - merchandise on the books ain't makin' money. If you're going to keep them, load 'em up!
Charlie T Waite Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 I got em to use, but they look so good with the engraving and all, just didn't want to mess them up. CTW
Blackey Cole Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Shooting the guns want mess them up normally unless your talking about the ring on the cylinder. From my limited research that most of the collectors edition guns were made in such large quantities that to make any money in you lifetime is very unlikely. Back before the nineteenth centruy when they ran those collectors editions they were numbered 1x of 100/500/1000 now they run several thousands when they do it.
Charlie T Waite Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 According to Ruger they only ran 1250 of these CTW
Three Foot Johnson Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I have a consecutively numbered set of 5 1/2" SS .38-40/.40 S&W Vaqueros, plus a 3rd backup, all purchased new in box, and shoot the hell out of them - only 753 made. I've also got a consecutively numbered set of 4 5/8" SS .44 special Vaqueros, plus a 3rd backup, all purchased new in box, that I also shoot the hell out of - only 503 made. And a Marlin .32-20 CCLTD, only 501 made, and it gets shot regularly too. Sell 'em or shoot 'em!
