I’m out of my element on this one. My impression was that it sold low. What might have been the reasons for this?

Don’t have a clue on the sale price, but somebody appears to have acquired a nice piece at a reasonable price.

I’m probably wrong but I’m thinking someone stole this gun and we’ll see it sell for much more.

Factory engraved 66’s usually have fancy wood, that coupled with the Mexican/Spanish scene, and it’s in a Regional Auction could affect value. Regional Auctions do not show a lot of pictures or attrack a lot of retail buyers in that price category. Maybe well bought or maybe flaw in area not pictured. When your spending that kind of money you need to see 100 good pictures or brave the virus. T/R
