Ditto to everything said about hrt4me's collection. The guns I've salvaged were all in fine condition compared to what you started with! Kudos!
I had just two revolvers when I went to my first gun show in my new home state a couple of years ago. Three hours later I left the gun show about 1,000 bucks lighter but with seven new-to-me BP revolvers. The best score of that day was an Uberti 3rd Model Dragoon with a proof date of 2004. It was new in the box and unfired as I recall. It's a beautiful piece with a fine action, light trigger, perfect timing, and it shoots straight. So, I agree with y'all about this gun as a great choice.
@Zulch, I actually see Dragoons come up for sale frequently on Gunbroker. Just keep watching. I'm happy with my Uberti so I won't be competing with you. ;-)
FWIW, the guns I bought at the gun show that day averaged to about $142.86 apiece and even included one cased 1860 Army. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes the black powder gods show me a little favor.
