My rare ones are an original tokarev tt-33 Russian made vet bring back from Korea Another is my Colt single action army "artillery" us marked revolver made in 1885 and rebuilt for use in the 1890's. The numbers are something like this- they made roughly 37,000 military single actions of which about half were destroyed in service or lost in action, and about 10k were disbursed while still cavalry length to state militias leaving only about 15k to be rebuilt to artillery configuration. For many years collectors focused on cavalry models , but more recently it has been appreciated the artilleries represent more historic significance as they would have been the guns in the hands of the Indian fighting army and later in the hands of units such as the rough riders and troops sent to the long Philippines insurrection | |||

My most valuable revolver is only my most valuable if I tried to replace it.  I think I paid $1300 plus the cost of the base gun. That was 17 years ago (hard to believe it's been that long) The price to have it built today is $3k, plus the cost of the base gun ($600+) Yikes.  _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

I have a Python that is blue and has some light holster wear and pitting on the barrel....I shoot the crap outta it and love it. My STI Edge cost more but I love my Python "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

Wow, some really great pictures here! Here's mine. While not super rare, not normally seen in civilian hands. The stock is probably more rare than the gun. I still to this day can't believe what I paid for a "stock". Thanks- Shea  | |||

I think the rarest pistol I own would be my 6" S&W 5906 PPC   "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

Nice! When was that made? ********************** 53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

Very nice. I've always liked the looks of the long-slide 5906s, like the PPC9 and Super 9. | |||

It's a 500 Linebaugh built by Dave Clements (Clements Custom Gun) My weirdest revolver also comes from him, a rimfire to centerfire conversion, in .22 Long Snapper.  _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

One doesn't see too many Colt Pythons with factory 3" barrels, but I snagged this one at an incredible price (used) for about $289.00 back in the early 1980's. Colt shipped 1,230 of these in blue steel (this one was made in 1983), and just 23 from the factory with nickel finish. It had a rubber Hogue "Monogrip" when I purchased it and I replaced that with these nice ebony stocks by Fuzzy Farrant. I've seen factory bluesteel 3" Pythons going for $7,000.00 as "LNIB", so I'm sure I could get my investment back if I ever decided to sell it.   I guess this is my "rarest" SIG. Its a "One of 75" P245 from the Sig Custom Shop and came with a Teflon-nickel finish, Novak sights, target crowned barrel, and a wonderful trigger. I kept the original parts, but replaced the sights with Trijicon HDs and the grips with Hogue G10 "Extremes" because I use this as a carry gun occasionally.  The most expensive (and IMHO beautiful) gun I own, is this Perazzi SC3 Grade, two barrel, skeet set (Heavy 12 gauge barrel and standard weight 12 gauge barrel with Briley sub-gauge tubes in 20, 28, and .410), which came upgraded with SCO grade wood. When I bought it over ten years ago, it was selling for a bit over $15,000.00.  One of the most interesting firearms I own is the 1911 Browning that was built by the Springfield Armory and carried in the "Great War" (WWI) by a family friend, who sold the pistol to my dad in the 1950's. Capt. Louis Savitsky MD wasn't on the front lines, but he served in the medical corps as a surgeon. His .45 was primarily carried as an emblem of rank, but it was "over there"!

I was hoping you'd post that 3" Snake. I'd gladly triple your investment  Bye for a while, guard the fort. - My Dad | |||

Though not as rare as some others posted here, the Benelli B76 is most seldom of mine seen. And it's Italian.    ------------------------------------------------------ Though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria | |||

The B76 is cool for sure. As far as exotic and rare is concerned, the target variant, the MP3S has that in spades. Its based off the B76, but its single action only with the weight, extended barrel, target grips, and adjustable sights.  Here's a B76 with an MP3S in 32 Wadcutter, an MP3S in 9mm, and a B77 (32ACP) on the right.  | |||
