Colt Single Action .45
I have a SA Colt that I bought in 1956. The only place that the Colt is on the gun in on the bbl. None of the numbers match the number on the frame is 8377, on the left side of the frame is stamped. US. Pat.Sept. 19, 1871, Pat. July 2, 1872. It is a nice gun, I was told when I bought the gun that it was a black powder model. What I want to know is about what is it worth. I know this is hard to do without looking, but a range will help me. Thanks

Pictures?
Markings?
Barrel length?
SN 8377=1874
Mixed numbers might indicate an "artillery model" overhauled in the 1890s. If it has the right inspectors' marks and other characteristics that only an expert (not me) can determine, it will be interesting. Most of the 1st generation guns I have seen over the past several years were overpriced and slow to sell.
Real "artillery models" produced by overhaul at Colt or Springfield have 5 1/2" barrels, except for a few left at 7 1/2".0 -
There are several Colt Single Action Army experts in here but there's no way to evaluate your revolver without pictures. There are so many variations, models, options and modifications that it is a collecting specialty in itself.
This thread will show you how to post pics and the more the better: http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2592940 -
The bbl is 4-3/4" I'll have to wait until my grand daughter get's here in a few days to post the pictures. Thanks 0
