Yes, it does seem that many of the collectors are selling the story instead of selling the gun. If you buy the story, you're going to pay a lot of money. I might tell the story if it was worth telling, but I'm guessing that a lot of them are BS.

Many of the collectors pay $100 to a Colt archivist to receive a "Letter of Authenticity" - which apparently returns more to the seller than the cost of the letter.

I can certainly get a picture of the bore, but I can say now that it's clean.
