That sounds pretty good. The way I look at it is if that gun were made today the msrp would be around 1100-1200 $, so used ones would go for about what you paid. It is nice that you got a shooter rather than a safe queen I lucked out this yr and found a 95% 6 inch bright stainless for $625 ,no box and rubber grips. Everyone I told was shocked. A LGS I haunt had a 4 inch blue in condition 99% ,no box for $1100. I f you like these bull strong Colts ,get a Lawman or Trooper Mark 3 , while they are still affordable. ADD a Wolff 13lb spring and the action is as good or better than the Mark V. Enjoy. Said it before , this is the revolver to bring back with a Python style barrel.
