I have never seen a good deal in a pawn shop with the exception of two Colt 2nd Gen/3rd Gen revolvers. The guy did not know what he had and let them go for what would be considered reasonable for a 30 year old Pietta equivalent. The dealer had purchased a collection (accumulation?) from a fellow but most of it was ASM, ASP, and other Italian manufs. Only these two Colts had any real value. The broker's assumption was that they were no different from the other pistols in the lot. And of course I was not about to clue him in.
