I have acquired 2 colt handguns and was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about them. How popular/rare, worth, approx. age, etc.

1. Mod. 1916 has the Argentine seal on top of the slide. Very good condition.

2. New Frontier Buntline 22/22mag. excellent condition.

Hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

  Perhaps I can help you with the Colt as I owned one many years ago.
  
  It was from the first Argentine contract ( 1000 commercial pistols? ) dating to the early W W I era. Although Argentina wasn't involved in that conflict.
  
  The one I had, had been refinished multiple times. The markings were very faint. Since the original contract was almost 90 years ago, doubt very many still survive in original condition.
  
  If your pistol is in "very good" FACTORY ORIGINAL CONDITION, my 2 cents would be that it would be quite collectable & worth some money.
