What a nice collection! THere are several there that I would love to have, but those aren't the ones within my budget. LOL! The serial #1 Colt Single Action Army...I didn't think I'd ever see a photo of the actual #1 gun, much less see it at auction again in my lifetime. How much can I scrape together selling plasma?
