So Whats the recent trend with Obsolete Caliber and the Smith & Wesson .44 Russian Revolvers ???

6 months and before these could be picked up for reasonable money

A refurbished nickle for around the £1k mark
A decent Blued for a lot less
A nice original for £1.5K max

Looking at the web sites and dealers it seems these are now going for £3k / £4K and up !!!!!!

A nice what appeared to be original blued was on Gunstar a moth ago private sale at just over a grand
I thought that was to much ??

it was sold almost immediately and re appeared for sale by a dealer at £2.2k !!!

AND SOLD AGAIN !!!!!!

Is there a massive serge in decent obsolete revolvers commanding ridiculous prices due to the economic climate being a better than money in the bank or what ??
