Just thought some of you might be interested in some prices at this show. Generally, Colts at a Mass. gun show are fairly sparse,
but I did run into some interesting ones, I think:
A pair of early Police Positives (in blue), both 4 in. Both about 98%. One in 32-20, the other 38. $1,000 for the pair.
A 357 4 in about 90-92% $850.
A .22 Diamondback 6 in. (nickle) about 85-90% $1,289.
A 3" blue Detective special from 1967 (see separate post w/ pics) $749.

I came home w/ nothing, but did seriously consider the PP's.
There seemed to be as much ammo as anyone could want, except for 22LR which was scarce.

The six inch nickel Diamondback 22 sounds pretty fair

What constitutes 85-90% on a nickel gun? Was the nickel flaking off?

I was referring to overall condition, not per cent finish. There were a number of scratches although overall appearence was pretty good. Nickle all appeared to be there.

Where is the pic of the detective special can't find the post? I just picked one up with 3 inch barrel 98% from 1964 for $604.
