It's interesting how the Mark III and Mark IV revolvers are finally getting some interest.

I believe it's because the prices for all of the Colt "snake" guns,,,
Have gone completely out of the range of mortal folk.
A month ago I saw a truly beat up python sell for $1,100.00,,,
It needed immediate gunsmith help to revive it,,,
But it sold in that condition none-the-less.
I own a well used (but not abused) 4" Mk-III in .357 Mag,,,
I paid $125.00 for it back around 2008 or 2009,,,
I could easily get $600.00 for it now.
I also own a very nice (no blue wear) 6" Mk-III in .22 LR,,,
People laughed when I bought it for $750.00 in 2010,,,
But I recently turned down a firm $900.00 offer,,,
That offer stands so I can sell it at any time.
DA/SA Colts are like real estate,,,
No one is making any more of them,,,
So once the snakes are gone everything else goes up.
There's a very clean and tight Trooper (no mark) at a pawn shop right now,,,
The asking price is $750.00 which is too high for me to want it,,,
But I'll bet it doesn't last for another month before it sells.
If it weren't for people trying to collect,,,
I don't think many of the Colts would demand such prices.
