Colt Lightning Value
I know this is another bad picture but it was what was sent. Ballpark value. Owner claims it is an original from 1883, it is in amazing condition with original stock. 3220 Cal. Thanks again.

It looks reblued to me but it may be just from the poor picture quality. Try to get ahold of a good digital camera and get some clear, closeup pics, including all markings. 0 -
I know it is a tough thing to grade with these pics but asssuming it is original and say 80%, what do you think? 0 -

I don't see a sliding breech cover, which would make it a first model. If it's in 80% original condition, probably in the $1,500 range.0 -
Damn you guys are good. A gunbroker came in and bought this for $1400 and the other guns you quoted were right on as well. VERY IMPRESSED!!!!!!! 0 -

If you mean a dealer in antique firearms when your saying, "gunbroker"? This means that the actual retail value of the Lighting is at least $2000 or better, and it was in factory original, Very Good+ condition. A guy who makes his living by buying and selling antique guns wouldn't be paying that kind of money for the Lighting unless it was right.0 -
It was a dealer in antique firearms. Thanks for clirifying. He paid about $1400 for it. But had a few other items for the total sale. 0
