Even though it didn't have the box, I would have liked to add this one to my collection, but seeing that I'd have to add another $100 for AZ sales tax I had to bow out at $1480.

neat little guns but boat anchor heavy. Nice example though

I was watching that one.

Rob is correct, they are heavy guns. Oddly the .22 OMM doesn't feel as heavy to me, but perhaps that is because the balance is different.

If I'm gonna spend that kind of money I'd just as soon spend a few hundred $ more and find one with the box.

Oh, a friend bought a mint one for about half that amount maybe six years ago. He is an eagle eye. First time I saw one up close. Built like a bank vault. Superb revolver. Epitome of 1950's craftsmanship. Wow.

I was watching that too snakeman99, but I saw that you had it at $1113. so I stayed out of it. Was bummed that you didn't get as it would have been nice to see it go to someone on here.

That was a really nice Colt Trooper, but I'm inclined to agree with you that for that amount or a bit more one with the correct box would be the way to go.

Me being more of a shooter and would shoot it, I would settle for one with a bit more wear and not so pricey.

A bit off topic, but I did have a MKIII Trooper in .22 and it was a really nice Colt revolver. Six inch barrel and dead accurate.
