If you google "Sheriff Hank Morton of Fresno, California." You'll find that this gun was previously sold at the Rock Island Auction for $2,644.
It might be some interest to some history buff from Fresno CA.

IMO, even outlaws have a higher standing than corrupt lawmen. I can see a lot of value in guns once owned by the likes of Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, and John Wesley Harden as examples. All worth LOTS of money but for this guys pistol......Naaa!

Brookwood, bad guys are bad guys. In my opinion corrupt cops are certainly the equal on the nasty scale to true outlaws, maybe even worse. So if you want a historic piece owned by a major league butt hole that price doesn't seem that bad. I will readily admit I wouldn't buy it or any other historic piece. If I buy something I buy it to shot it!!😁

I have no problem shooting historical pieces. I have one historical safe queen (a 351 Winchester SL) and the only reason I haven't shot it is because ammo is difficult to find for it.
I have my eyes on a couple original guns that I want to buy and shoot.
- An original CW era Colt 1860 Army or 1851 Navy revolver.
- A WWI or WWII 1911.
- A gen 1 or gen 2 Colt Single Action Army revolver.

I have a old English made Morse double barrel, black powder (made in the 1840's) handed down from an ancestor that was a guard at the Andersonville prison down here in Georgia, he was 16 yrs old and had to furnish his own weapon. I've read where double barrels was preferred for that line of work. I still shoot it once a year, Confederate Memorial Day. All the so-called historical experts say it's worthless but would like for me to donate it to a war museum......nothing doing, it kept my family fed for generations plus we might need it again 😊

I’m originally from Fresno and never heard of him(he was gone when I was a kid). We had a Police Chief named Ed Winchester who was a scourge to the Winchester name as he was a huge anti gun cop. We did have an AWESOME Sheriff named Margaret Mims who was very Pro 2A and encouraged citizens to be armed. She just retired.
