Was just watching this show. The guy paid $500,000 for two pistols; a Colt Walker and a Colt Dragoon.
Isn't anyone on here that has one of these laying around is there?
I'd pay a couple hundred bucks for it.

I just wonder how much of that show is staged ....
Watched a bit of it last night when he bought the Lugar owned by Howard Hughes.
I did a bit of research and the gun was supposed to go up for auction in September of last year (before the American Guns show) and I assume it did not sell for the reserve.
He ended up giving $10k in cash and a Rolex he claimed was worth $8k .... for a gun he valued at $5k.
Aint no doubt he throws some money around .... but it seems he charges a pretty penny for his services as well. Last night he took a customers 7MM rifle and built a custom 458 Lott using the original action. He charged $4k .....

I don't think too much of the show either, was just amazed at the value of those old Colt pistols.

The first thing I thought when I saw the show was "ain't no way my daughter will ever dress that way".

I watched the episode you are talking about today .... the Walker turned out to be a Spanish made copy. He didnt end up buying it.
The Dragoon was worth like $15k.
