Not mine but I know the guy well and have had it in my hand. From my local area. If something you want see again is your game this is it. 😉

Wow that is pricey, good luck to your friend.
That's a new one on me. If the Colt guys like it, he might have priced it too low.
Talked about that but he said do it. I was in on the listing ect. since I know so much,🙄 and that is the only one I have ever heard of for sale or seen.
That is cool.. never heard of it.
That's bad boy there
I have fired a Widley years ago, but I did not know Colt was ever involved.
How many have this on their watchlist? @Grasshopper
Yesterday there was like 40 yesterday, haven't been to the shop tonight to ask. Had some inquiries about trades? but that is a dead end, just going to sell.
They know what it is, and know they very well may never see another. One of them should grab it.
Hmmm...ugly and I don’t get to shoot it? Keep your 15K. Best of luck with the auction.
Don't get the "ugly" part, that is to me a piece of fine machinery but to each his own. Glocks to me are not aesthetically pleasing but the machine does its job.
Bronson thought it was good enough to take out the giggler💪
Didn't Eastwood have a Wildey in one of his movies? I remember him calling it by name and we thought he said "Willy".
I really like it .
I was thinking that it was an AMT.
We've got the regular version up and running this week. I've never seen one marked Colt before, you learn something new every day. That IS one rare bird for sure!
Yep.......pretty sure it was a 44 AutoMag.
Oh my...

Charles Bronson wielded one in a movie, I don't recall the title. But that is where I learned how the name was pronounced. I thought it was 'Wild-E' but he said it 'Will-D'. So that's how I have said it since.
It is a young cannon, but it just cost too much to manufacture to appeal to most people.
No bids.
Even the one Kasey has seems to be going really cheap, from what I was expecting.
Kasey's sold $2575.00
I really thought it would hit 7k. Hopefully my guess on value was way off and that Kasey and seller did OK afterall.
Another company does a remake.. like the link above the Wildey survivor. They came our again around 2018 and could pre order..cost was 2500+3k. Here is one on GB

Did not know that. That would take the market much lower for the real originals in a sense and I guess no one wants to pay 15K for a Pony. Interesting, I was actually thinking about the Pony but now I am out. If I was younger maybe and more flush.
