"the workmanship"
When I bought mine in '07 my father was 85 and had just moved to assisted living and given me all of his guns. I found the used R9 a block from his new home and immediately took it up the street to show him.
He handled the R9, looked it over, dry fired it and got a look on his face that telegraphed the question that was coming. "And how much did you have to pay for this little work of art?"
I told him $900 used and he just nodded and said, "I figured it had to be up in the Python range."
Fwiw, over his entire lifetime his favorite three guns were a Model 12 20 ga., a blue 6" Python and a Model 17.
