George Geist Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Anybody see this yet? https://www.americanlegacyfirearms.com/_cms/product/american-blacksmith-rifle/ Is a bit pricey but in my opinion they couldn't have come up with a more cool commemorative. Love it!!!! George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Geist Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Here's another neat one. I think it might be sold out unfortunately https://www.americanlegacyfirearms.com/_cms/product/the-american-farriers-rifle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedCustoms Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 They are pretty but you can buy four of the stock model for the same price and those commemorative types are impossible to get your money out of on resale. I went down that road with a Bicentennial Winchester 94 years ago. Too pretty to shoot, too expensive to sell. Still, if I win the lottery.....I'ld rather see that Henry in .45LC though.

George Geist Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 I'd say commemoratives are really a world unto themselves. Like any other form of art, investing in them is hit and miss. Sometimes they appreciate. Sometimes they don't. The Blacksmith rifle is one that I'd wager most folks engaged in the trade would probably buy to keep so future value isn't really a high priority to most of them.

TwistedCustoms Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Granted....still, if it goes "bang" I look at it as a capital investment. Over the years I have made a lot more money on the "lock, stock and barrel" market than the Stock Market! Colt Pythons purchased in the 1960s for under $100.00 are now selling in the $5000.00 range with original box/papers. I wish all my investments had done so well!

Remmie Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I haven't done quite as well as you, but I bought a Ruger Redhawk 7.5" barrel .44 mag in 1985 for $ 300. It has gained a little value, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
