I have the nickel and blued ones fantastic I say my question is about the limited edition of 500 in USA sold out now there's seems to be 700 of 1000 here in uk can't find any info on this

I'm a little intrigued by the concept of a limited edition item whose production run is extended when they sell out.

Anything modern that claims to be a 'limited' or 'collector's edition ought to be taken with a pinch of salt IMHO. Invariably they are not as limited as the marketing suggests.

In addition most Limited Editions tend to be looked after and so there always 1000 or whatever around.
I learnt that from model cars which I thought might be an investment!

I am hopeless so I have got the Marshal.
508 of 1000-so far!

A thousand? A place in Bristol is advertising them in Gunstar as a run of 500. If you've got 508, erm ... ??

It all seems a bit sleazy, to me.

I'm not surevwhat they are playing at with the Marshall SAA some state 1 - 500 some state 1 - - 1000.

I'll be selling my nickel SAA in a few days, it's a shame but need funds for Christmas, haha got thing I will still own the antique version
Lol I love my wife a little bit more then my nickel peacemaker though so want to get her a nice ring for Christmas so the nickel one has to go and help pay for it..

Hey Ginge, where did you get your Marshall version from? I could be tempted to add one to the collection.

[gingernut]

Tal Arms Christchurch.
They may have one left.

TAL Arms are illustrating their antique finish version with Marshalls badges on the grips, at the same price as the nickel and blued. Probably a mistake, though.

Just out in the US - rifled barrel, pellet-firing version.

I like the weathered finish but not sure about the John Wayne signature and references to the Duke on the markings.

I wonder if the initial batch of the 'limited edition' Marshall's SAA is numbered 1 - 500 and the next batch 1 - 1000?

I ask as I examined #13 of 1000 last week. There's probably a 13 of 500 out there too!

Not much call for Cowboys these days.....
You would be surprised.

Applies to your post.

It is a quote but where from?

"Justified"

Can't see the connection, though, unless you're saying that you've already said that they have them. In fact, I was pointing out that they're advertising them at the same price as the other versions, rather than the thirty quid or so extra that others are selling them for.

[gingernut]

Exactly so.
On both counts.

The writing on my black one is gold not white.

Ive seen pictures that show all types of writing on these revolvers which may not be on the ones we get.
I have not seen one with the full blown warnings on the barrel yet,thankfully.

Oddly the Antique has the stand out white writing.

The website of a northern RFD shows the right hand side of the US Marshall version....seems to be a LOT of words there Maybe that is just a library photo and ones for sale are different (one hopes)?
