For a $26k starting price, I would expect clear enough photos to read the inscription on the barrel.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
Even lipstick can't fix that!!
If the description on that read "Cast resin prop from unknown B-movie," I wouldn't have questioned it at all.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
The factory letter explains a lot but raises more questions. This was a retirement gift for an outgoing chairman of the firm. The revolver was shipped in the white and parkerized after it was engraved. This was a very deliberate choice from the factory, which could have sent any of their products to that engraver. So why wouldn't they go all the way and give him a Python, or a 1911? Was the Peacekeeper his favorite model? Was it some kind of ironic choice that was tailored to his personality? An outgoing "F*** You" to someone who was not liked enough to send the very best?
That's no pig, that's a Colt Revolver. I'd rock it like a hurricane.
I'd go 500 bucks, 600 tops, but I'd rock it, crossdraw : ). Fill in that sick engraving with a yellow paint pen and TRY to fight off the chics.
GAS-O seems like an unseemly serial number to me.
Hilarious.
The Peacekeeper was reportedly one of those strike guns, Parkerized because union workers weren't coming in to the bluing shop.
How appropriate a retirement gift to one of the asset strippers.
Code Name: JET STREAM
Lt. Castillo carried one, so there's that.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
