Oklahoma Dee Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Phantom, Try Collectors Firearms at (713) 781-1960, it is located here in the Houston area. You may have to ask for someone in the Antique Colt revolver area. It is a start. You might look into the Colt forum on the internet. Join, it costs nothing but your time and possible pain of reading. Post a question, most times it is answered by a bevy of experts or wannabees. Cheers, Oklahoma Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently have an offer apx $12,000. Oh, come with the original holster I would recommend www.coltforum.com over the CCA. I once had a question about Colt Lightnings. I posted on both sites; on the CCA site, I got no replies and only three views in about two weeks- and all of the views were me checking up. Got a good answer on coltforum. Seems to be an empty desert on CCA. Usually the newest post on CCA was a day or so old, not 15-30 minutes old or less, as on coltforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 www.coltcollectors.com The Colt Collectors annual show is the 29 Sept through 2 October in Kansas City, MO this year. I took a circa 1902 Bisley to this show two years ago nad was able talk to a dozen experts at one place. Antique arms need to be seen by experts to fuly understand the history of the firearm. I also recommend RL Wilsn's books and the Cody Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
