Default Grounds For Divorce ... maybe ...

.... if it were a black powder frame SAA, I might say definitely.

This is a Colt double action revolver that came into the shop last week. I believe it's an early Model 1901 U.S. military. If it is military, I've seen these price up to $2000 bucks or so.

Evidently it was in near perfect condition until the owner's new wife decided she didn't like firearms and hid it under a hot water heater in the basement.

So now it goes into a bath of "Evapo-Rust" and we'll see how it looks in a couple of days ...... this should be interesting.
