Trailrider #896 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 OMG! I wonder if this gun will be displayed at the Colorado Gun Collectors show the following weekend? Wonder who might have carried it to LBH? If this gun could only talk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and I think the gentleman who was approached by the family was quite dubious as well. Anyone would be. Or should be. It's one of those "Yeah, right..." sort of things. But it does seem to add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 It'll be interesting to see what it goes for in auction next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Just looked up the sales price of ser. nos. 1 and 2. No. 1 sold in 2008, approx. for $830,000, while ser. no. 2 went for $161,000 in 2018. There's a You Tube video on no. 2, which was sold at an RIA auction. Condition is less than the one shown above as it was stripped of finish and nickeled. The barrel was cut down to 5 1/2 ". There's a Henry Nettleton inspected Colt in the video, which looks even better than the one above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Looks pretty good for having been shoved up Custer's keister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being In this area I dont , there are more Not in this condition though Rumors of weapons removed by Natives have been around for a long time , to the point of expeditions looking for a hidden cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 ive thought that all of the surviving weapons had been accounted for and documented , i may well be wrong , i know the indians took some - doubt those would be in that condition today , but hey whatever , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
