Not wanting to induce any medical emergencies, but a quick pass through the safes here reveal One 95% Prewar National Match, Two 1968 NIB Colt AMU Governments, one as new 1968 Colt AMU, as well as a Pre-war .38 Super, a NIB 4 digit Colt LW Commander, and some other really NICE base guns. The ones I don't cut up, Jason will. And Yes, they'll be worth more when they're done.
Can I get a fiber optic front sight, finger grooved front strap, and front cocking serrations on that Pre-war National Match? I'd like it buffed and bumper chromed, too. Oh, and I want my name engraved on the biggest portion of the slide. In cursive. I have an Electro-Engraver pencil ready for use. (All things I've seen done to otherwise....high value(!) guns.)
I've got a great story about a VERY well known pistolero being cajoled into "engraving" a guy's name onto the slides of two sequential numbered O Models after a demonstration at a gun show. Did I mention he was wearing TWO pairs of borrowed glasses (from the crowd) while doing this? Let's just say he has a steadier hand on an aspirin tablet at 10 yards than an O Model slide at arms length.
I wouldn't call a couple of O Models collectible (for another 50 years), but I'm guessing they'll be a LOT less easy to turn with 'Bubba Ray' scrawled on the side.
