For Sale -- 2nd Generation Colt 1851, Slicked Up & Cap Rake Installed


Recommended Posts

Good Morning Folks:

Thinning the herd a bit.

 

I quit shooting .36s years ago.

I gave 3 Colt 1851s to Coffinmaker earlier this year to do action work on & install cap rakes.

I thought I might shoot them again.

Then I decided to sell them.

Then, as I was taking pictures & fondling them, I decided I had to keep at least 2 of them.

So I'm keeping the two commemoratives -- General Grant & General Lee

 

Details:

This was my back-up

Second Generation Colt 1851

Serial Number 5760 Marked on barrel, frame, cylinder, and gripframe.

 

**Note -- Picture shows a rounded triggerguard. That is a silver-plated Uberti gripframe. I do not care for the square-back gripframe. However, after I took the pics, I replaced with the original Colt silver-plated square-back TG that has the same serial number as the rest of the gun.**

 

Frame marked "Colt's Patent"

Barrel Marked "Address Saml Colt New York City"

Bluing is good

CCH is good -- not as vibrant as some I've seen

Barrel has some scratches & nicks

Bore & cylinder charge holes are good

5 Factory nipples -- 1 charge hole left empty

Coffinmaker-installed cap rake

 

$500 shipped.

I was just sitting here imagining the anguish Prairie Dawg must go thru when he is deciding which cap guns to pass on to new owners.......and then I saw that he is also selling off his skirts and blouses! I can't really describe my emotions at this time.....back to top!!

Different person selling the skirts.

If anybody happens to be reading this thread who might actually WANT one of these - you'll not find a finer pard than P Dawg to deal with.

 

Now, on with the hypnosis to remove the image in my brain planted there by the evil CC :P
