My 2020 Blue Book of Gun Values said this gun should be $900, so when I saw it come up for auction I submitted a bid of $900 and was quickly outbid.
I walked out of my local gun store today with a brand new 48 year old gun! If you don't have this book yet, you have to get it! Note: Since these were online sales it is important to note that buyers likely paid $100 more than the reflected sales price to cover credit card fees, shipping costs and FFL transfer fees. Further, of the 8 best examples, only 4 had the original box. Of the 63 completed sales analyzed I found that only 8 of those guns might be considered Collector Grade Quality. In my research I found 63 completed online auction sales of the Colt Lawman over the 12 month period from October 2019 to October 2020 and the Average Sales Price was $694. And just for comparison, how many Pythons could I buy today if I were so inclined? 468. I found a total of 11, 8 with the 4" barrel, 2 with the shrouded 2" barrel and only 1 with the unshrouded 2" barrel. Most of these guns saw their fair share of work and in the process usually took on the wear and tear that comes with being a working gun.Ī week has gone by and I performed a search to see how many of these I could find available for sale. This model is a rarity in this condition. Sometimes it's not the most expensive or fanciest gun that really cranks my tractor. Well, it's just perfect! And did I mention how nice those narrow service grips feel? The wide hammer spur immediately brought a smile to my face. The shrouded ejector rod was implemented just after this one.
This gun is one of the last with the exposed ejector rod. Benny, my FFL guy making me the happiest customer of the day! Well I finally did get my hands on one and I plan to learn as much about this model as I can in the coming days. The Lawman is one of those guns that, as I reflect now, I just don't know why I didn't acquire one of these a long time ago.
Colt Made the Lawman Mk III from 1969 to 1983Ī working man's gun in the truest sense of the term.
