Prices of repro Whitneys

[Coot]

For no particularly good reason other than I don't have one, I would like to get a repro Whitney in .36. The last two that I have seen were a Palmetto which sold for $930 and a Dixie which just sold for $1035. The Dixie I believe to be made by Palmetto and the finish was on the rough side ("new" gun but plenty of milling marks). Palmetto is the only mfr of the repro Whitneys that I know of & that makes them a bit hard to find but $1000? Too many other options for my cash.

No thank you, if I'm dropping $1000 on a repro it's gonna be a rifle or a musket.

$1000 for a Palmetto Whitney is crazy.

Lots of no longer manufactured guns are commanding stupid prices. Supply and demand. If you really dig the Whitney, get a Spiller & Burr, which is basically a brass Confederate knockoff of the Whitney design...for 1/3 the price.

Cimarron Whitneyville is around $500
