    $4600 for NIB 1st yr production (1992) Swift ... crazy $$$

    this is what I think will happen .... probably bought by an older gentleman wanting to add to his large collection of firearms. Will eventually pass away and the estate / family will sell his entire collection through James Julia.

    see link and be sure to check out lot 2010 https://jamesdjulia.com/auction/spri...age=1&aucPP=25
    I represented an estate that did exactly this a few years back. It was sad to see an awesome collection get broken up and sold. However, when you’re staring at original engraved various pistols, Colt Walkers, etc., how do you make sure it’s fair when you parcel it out to the heirs? All in all, it’s the only choice for an executor.

      Wow! I have been a Swift fan for 35+ years but darn sure could not justify picking up this one.

            Well...if anybody 'has' to have one!!



            Honestly, as a collector & had to have it I (and the winning bidder of the $4k gun) would/should fork over another 10 bones to have the original box. It is amazing how having the original packaging is the better long term investment if paying top dollar.

              Yeah...lol, I saw 4100 when I posted. It would be dumb not to get the other one with the box if it's indeed as nice!!

                  Reminds me if those art collectors and celebrity items that are auctioned.

                  Now if it was a 6.5 CM, that’s different !
