Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 A few years ago I bought this Forearm and Wadsworth Model 41 double action revolver at a household sale. Always thought it was a 38 S&W rimfire caliber until today I realized it is a 41 rimfire. Patent date is July 24th 1877. Four (4) digit serial number, frame and cylinder have same number As photos show the finish is gone, missing front sight and some damage to right grip panel. The gun locks up very, very tight and the king pin shows no real wear and also locks up very tight. I was going to sell it but I am not so sure now. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks, Marlin
cowrustler Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Marlin, these don't bring much unless in super nice condition. A quick check of Gunbroker completed auctions looks like a good one might get $150-250. They are asking lots more in current auctions with no bids and a check of completed auction shows no bids for multiple auction cycles.
Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 Not expecting it to be worth much. I didn't win the Lottery last week either. Just seems pretty rare in the .41 caliber. Thanks for your input. continuing to seek more input. Marlin

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 OK, you're next in line. Nothing special about sending ammo to California, right?
