I never thought of myself as a collector. However, Seems I am! I have many various gen Colts and want more! I u s e them though! They all have been fired except the one 'Brownboxer' I have (3rd Dragoon). I have accessories for them, holsters, belts and and and. I have many replicas but am currently 'culling' them. Replacing all with 'Reproductions'.
Also, I want the accessories for them. I mean the Colt Gen series accessories. V e r y difficult to find though. I have, as of y e t! , not found any. I m not busting my back doing so, however I am actively searching.
So far, I have no driving urge to have a '51 Navy or Pocket Navy. Never did want them. for whatever reason, never liked them. Nor the Paterson. Every day is a new day though. We ll see what we ll see! , won t we?
So, reckon I am a collector.
