SOLD Belgian Centaure 1860

[BigSkyRambler]

Have a possibly unfired Belgian Centennial Centaure 1860 Army in case with flask and cap tin. I am pretty sure it is a put together set. Revolver is extremely clean inside chambers and barrel. Virtually nothing comes out on Q Tips and patches, so not oiled after shooting and cleaning. I have not disassembled it, as I do not believe wedge has ever been removed. Backstrap, muzzle and trigger guard show finish loss from, I assume, box wear. Grips are Excellent. Came out of a defunct Civil War store in CA. Whole set $625 + Shipping. Revolver alone $525 + Shipping.

I had been eyeing that one, good to see it went to a good home!
I had really been more interested in the presentation case with its star, given my Texas domicile

Seems backwards - usually they'll buy it cheaper here and resell at the auctions.

Ah, I see now! They don't come up for auction very often, unfortunately.
Was this one of those "15 minute" things?

 

[Blackpowderwarrior]

They are rare gems. Someones going to be happy with it. Its probably a pretty sweet shooter

...and?

Yep. Perhaps discretion is the order of the day for such things.
