Wow! They must have really wanted it at that price! Perhaps it was destined for export? I know that the Grifone is particularly rare in the US.Sixshot6 wrote:I'm trying to remember how much the 454 was, but I remember at least £1500, and it didn't last long. Somebody wanted that badly.
A blued 357 with somewhat abused furniture and a few scratches here-and-there went at the last Holts sealed bid auction for £430(ish). I put a speculative low bid in but didn't win.Demonic69 wrote:£550! Now I want one even more!

Cannot remember of it was up for two or three, k that is....
It might have been £2500, all I can remember it was over a grand and was around 2012-2013 period, possibly even 2011. All I know is at least one 454 casuall grifone is in the wild in the UK. And I'm not making it up, it was in 454. Possibly export. It was Cotswold arms that imported them if I remember? Many years before I got my FAC as a teen with no firearms of his own, used to get gunmart and I remember Cotswold's adverts and them selling all sorts of stuff. The one that sticks in my mind is some Grifone's and Redhawk's at £450 quid at the time (those were the daysA.J.P. wrote:Wow! They must have really wanted it at that price!

). The Grifone was definitely available in UK spec chambered in 454 Casull. I've linked an interesting article/review from back in the day below.Sixshot6 wrote:All I know is at least one 454 casuall grifone is in the wild in the UK. And I'm not making it up, it was in 454.

Is what I said cursing? I just mentioned it as an example of something crazy priced I'd seen that I did not believe it was worth it. Plus I'm wondering now if Cotswolds were the ones that brought that model in? Any know how on that? I'll read the article, but I never got Shooting sports back in the day when I was 12-13 year old. It was mainly gun mart for me.A.J.P. wrote:The Grifone was definitely available in UK spec chambered in 454 Casull.

Cotswold Arms were named in the article as the then distributor of the Grifone. Original retail's quoted as £653 - although it doesn't state for which spec.Sixshot6 wrote:I'm wondering now if Cotswolds were the ones that brought that model in?
