Here's my Smith&Wesson collection, I have a total 12 now.

Absolutely beautiful.  That's a great collection.  Look forward to more picts!

p.s. I did chuckle a bit with the S & W snubby positioned right on top of the "Colt" logo.

DJTC45: I'd say your off to a pretty good start there.

You are not far off actually.  Those 1st gen guns bring mega bucks 

I had a Gen 1 17 I traded straight up for a Saiga 762x39, 1400rds ammo, and 13 mags about 6 years ago.

Anything with a steel frame will likely increase over time. 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen Smith and Wessons are increasing pretty steadily. You can still get some surplus handguns like Star, CZ and Makarov variants at reasonable prices. They may not seem like much now, but I remember $500 US properties and more direct comparison $69 SKS. Key seems to be, if they don’t make it, or can’t import it, they will go up.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for per say. However I purchased a CZ Scorpion back 5-6 years ago for around $550. The popularity of those guns has soared and now they go for close to 1K. With the BATF regulations coming down the pipe I imagine their value will continue to go up in the future.

I have been surprised at how the S&W Hand Ejectors in 38 S&W have climbed in value...they could be a good sleeper...

Beretta 1951s have been dumped onto the market in the last couple of years and a decent example could be had for $300 - $350. As soon as inventory runs out, they will climb in value.
