I'm all about giving the Foxtrot Uniform to the government whenever I can. 
Picked up some toys at a local gun show yesterday myself.  A couple of nice .45
SAA pattern revolvers, one a 7th Cavalry 7 1/2" model commemorating the "C"
company of Custer's command.  Nice finish on this, case hardened frame, barrel
and cylinder with a deep, dark blue.  The other is a standard SAA 4 3/4" with
nickel plated trigger guard and backstrap.  Damned nice looking piece with a
VERY dark blue finish.  

That's the one I really wanted, have a holster for that length SAA and all my
others were 7 1/2" or longer.  Wife had to have the 7th Calvary revolver.  Both
are Ubertis, which I really like and feature a hammer mounted firing pin to add
to the appearance of an actual period piece.

On top of that, I just HAD to have a Standard Manufacturing "switch gun" in .22
WRM.  I'm a sucker for any gun with a "weird factor" and this thing had it. 
And for some stupid reason, wife had to have a .380 Derringer that she spotted.

Guess we over-compensated a bit at the gun show as a yard sale that was
advertising guns for sale turned out to be a bit of a bust.  Nothing there we
were interested in and what they did have was priced a bit high.  I actually
picked up all of the above for a FAIR price - especially considering one should
not expect bargains at a gun show.  Suffice it to say I paid well below MSRP. 
Of course the dealer we purchased from is one we've bought from before so they
were more willing to cut us a deal.

Don't doe as much shooting as we used to do, I guess we're mainly just building
the collection.  Will be something of an inheritance....
