Speaking of the shit collecters market, I had the weirdest non-gunshow interaction recently. I saw an ad for two win97s at reasonable prices. I get there and one is a bit of a dog and the other is perfect. I offered a less than 10 percent lower than asking price for the dog. The guy immediately responds that he won't take a penny less than the asking price of the perfect gun, because he knows what he has invested in them, but I can choose which one I want. I was so agrivated I just left without buying anything.

Same on the edc. When people ask about 32acp I just tell them it's for when you need to shoot someone politely.

Buffington loved himself some complicated sights, didn't he?

When I was asking about your favorite overly complicated sight, I didn’t quite mean your favorite to actually use. I meant it more in the sense of “favorite absurdity” sense.
One a second note, I actually carry a 1903 Pocket Hammerless as my EDC. 1905 production date. Love it! Easily the most comfortable thing I have ever carried

If looking for a 1914 Colt Potato digger, the VMI Museum you have worked with before has one. I am a recent Alumni from there. I have a picture of top markings.

The original 1903 Springfield rear sight is a complicated nuisance.
