Colt Gen Custer BP
Ihave a NIB 2nd Gen Colt General Custer BP .36 Navy I bought in the early 90's. Interested in knowing the current value. There's one for sale on this site but seems high compared to what I paid for it? Thanks.
They were manufactured by Colt.

I think you may have a 3rd Generation "Signature Series". If it has Sam Colt's signature on the backstrap, it's 3rd Generation.
Although I've seen some optimistic asking prices, they usually sell in the $800-$900 range.0 -
Yes, 3rd Gen sorry. That's more what I expected, I think I paid just under $800. Back then. Hasn't appreciated much. Thanks! 0 -
I paid too much for mine but have always wanted one. So I'm happy lol 0 -

Actually, I believe I bought it wholesale when I had my FFL. I don't know what they retailed for back then, probably a hundred bucks higher or so. 0 -

They weren't & aren't very hot sellers. Personally, I think they were kind of cheezy and the Franklin Mint replicas were more authentic looking.

My Custer doesn't look like this pic. Mine is a solid color, a dark silver nitrate finish. Rather a unique finish, one of the reasons I liked it. Not so ornate beyond the engraving and carved grips. 0
