It may be best at auction but you may want to put a reserve I have no idea what originals sell for but I'm sure they're not cheap.

    50 cent mentions Llamas in like 2 raps I've heard. Llama means flame in Spanish it is not referencing the animal. I had the 22 auto but sold it I still have a 44 mag and a 357 Comanche and the 380. I once had a Llama 22 revolver but sold it it kind of sucked. I also have a Llama 9x19 1911 commander clone. The 45 one I had blew. Spanish guns can be good but have poor QC.
    Would GunBroker be a good place to facilitate an auction or would a live auction in-person be best?

    Sounds like you've got a great collection, so far my only revolvers are in 357 but I'm also interested in a 9 mm revolver and then I would definitely like a 22 LR so I can shoot all day, I was thinking about a Phoenix Arms HP-22 but I'm going to delay my Phoenix Arms acquisition and get a 25 so it can share ammo with my Raven and then I'll get a rifle in 22LR, which should be funner, maybe I'll come across a cool revolver in 22LR

      Since you're starting off you need a more versatile and less problematic 22 than a Phoenix. A 10/22 would be a good choice. A LCR 22 might be a good choice too, economical and similar to what you already own in a 357. Most quality 22 revolvers tend to be $$$.

      Your French revolver needs to go to a reputable well established auction house that does a live auction in addition to proxibid. You could risk doing it yourself on Gunbroker but that is up to you. You will save the auction fees but you will need to describe it very well with very good pics and hope people find your auction listing and want it.

      On some types of collectible guns I'd rather do an auction house. They will usually take 15-25% though of the selling price.

      My only currently owned 9mm revolver is a S&W 940 I sold my Ruger Speed Six 9mm. I do want to get the LCR 9mm and some of the out of production weird ones like S&W 547, Astra/FN Barracuda, Ruger Sp101, maybe a Ruger Service Six and some of the ones Charter Arms has been putting out.

        The 22 LR at the top of my list now is - which is a really good deal because I just saw this at Gun World in Burbank for $999



        I'll take a look at some of the auction houses in the LA area

        I believe Rossi makes a 9mm, I passed one up for a very good price but that would've been ideal because it doesn't require a moonclip

          Very little to contribute here ~ Had a beautiful.357 pistol pack once, I mean beautiful (& complete, down to the belt buckle) Trigger wasn't all that, some where between a stock S&W & a Ruger. Was going to have an action job till I "read" that Dan Wesson had a very thin Harding of internal surfaces & the slightest extra swipe of the file could damage the firing components. Never found out though, had a stellar trade come through before I could ever fire her. But damn, all those pretty blue barrel shrouds were a sight to see!
          WTB: S&W 617 4" 10 shot Pre-Lock

            Gun World usually has high prices. The GSG clone guns are actually quite decent but I'd still rather have and start off with a 10/22. Taurus did or does make 9mm revolvers I've never heard of a Rossi one. I actually like moonclips but a few designs by Charter Arms and the S&W 547 don't use them. Ruger makes the single action 357 Mag Blackhawk with an extra cylinder for 9x19 which does not use moonclips.

              Oh I was thinking you had a LeMat revolver I was confusing it with what you own I don't know much on the one you have. The LeMat is neat since it has a shotgun barrel as well and it is 9 shot I'd like to get one eventually. You need to research your gun carefully since some fall in to a seriall number range of use/purchase by the military in the Civil War which should help value.

                Well, you once dreamed of owning a Raven .25, and now you have one, so sometimes even fairy tale wishes really do come true.

                To paraphrase Casey Casem, keep reaching for those stars, brother.

                  I like moonclips when the gun can be used with or without
