On a recent thread I commented that I had never, to my knowledge, actually seen a pair of fluer de lis grips other than in photos. I went to the Memphis Gun Show today and there was an old Colt SAA with a beautiful set of fluer de lis (Hope I'm spelling it right) grips. This gun was in a case with several other SAA and an old Bisley. All were pretty well in the "patina" stage so I didn't look too closely, not looking for collector's pieces.
As a matter of interest, I did notice a good number of older DA revolvers, Official Police and Police Positives, one Detective Special, all in very good shape (from a casual look) to me, and going from $300~$450. Saw one 2 1/2" Python, but did not see asking price.
And as for me, I swapped a S&W Model 29-2 for a Ruger Three Screw Super Blackhawk. We (the other man and I) were both asking around $700 for our guns, and we made an even exchange. I'm trying to swap out my big bore DA guns for Single Actions. Want Colt, Three Screw Rugers, and a Swiss made Hammerli Virginian in .45 Colt.
And that's the way my day has gone. Hope ya'll's has been equally pleasant.
