    Found my "holy grail" revolver set!

    I'm celebrating tonight.

    I've been looking for these for 3 years (without trading a first born). I happened to be talking to a regular customer of mine about some guns her dad had left her and these were among them. I was fair and paid a good deal for them but they are hanging right above my desk.


    Colt Snake Eyes, matching set, original boxes, papers, ect. Even the original box this was sent in to the gunshop in Socal that sold them on 3-12-89.

    Interesting set.

    Are you saying that the display diorama was part of the factory Colt set, too?

                That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me. You know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. Dosen't show up on your airport X-ray machines, here, and it cost more than you make in a month.

                  You should try some different color lights for the back light and see if there are some which enhance the display better.

                          I thought the same thing as I have always wanted to come across this set for a decent price. Good Score!
