It would be a nice man-cave or office piece. Admire the delicate artwork. I really enjoy the old New Service. Ive had a few. My first was a .38-40 and I've had two .45 Colts. I always wanted a .44 Special Version. One I owned was actually an old 1909 Military piece. The grips on ALL Colts are funky. I absolutely have to have a grip adapter to be able to reach the trigger effectively.
I sold one to John Taffin. He had it when he passed. It came up for sale but in reflection let it pass on the the next excited owner. We might see it again one day. The .44-40 version is also a bit rare and worthy of collecting. I'm not above playing with a nattty Fitz make up gun either.
