I knew Teddy Roosevelt had good taste...
« on: January 02, 2023, 11:39:11 AM »
His S&W Number 3 in .38 Long Colt sold at auction last month...

Almost $1 million.

The thing is in absolutely incredible shape.

I really hope Gun Jesus does a segment on it.

Considering it sold at Rock Island Auction Co he very well may have and just hasn't released it yet.

Unfortunately I missed out on it. My pants with the money clip were at the cleaners...

As gorgeous as that gun is, and with its provenance, I actually wouldn't want it. I like to shoot my guns.

That is a beautifully engraved top break.
