Listen to Albert,there are plenty of blued guns out there for $500-$700. When I started collecting Diamondbacks, that's usually where you start with the standard 38spl 4" or 6" and work up from there. In collecting I find you don't always hit a homerun or find the Holy Grail, but when you least suspect it, a little old lady shows up with that "jewel" wrapped in a sock that she found left from her husband and don't know what to do with it. That's the real fun part of collecting, it is not in the end result, it is in the journey. dia.......
