    Pietta .44 navy?

    I must say that the arguments presented by all of you gentlemen are very effective in making a case for the .44 cal reproduction revolvers. While I have no idea of the background of those who have commented, IMO you all would have made great lawyers. I am now inclined to relook at some of...

    Pietta .44 navy?

    The production of Navy .44 cal revolvers is something that should never have happened in the "reproduction" market. The term itself should have given them a clue. How do reproduce something that didn't exist in the first place? I obtain one now and then in a trade but I will get rid of them as...

    Yes, it appears that Texas is more friendly to their business.

    Update on Colt SN924

    Its been a few months since I acquired this Colt. At first I assumed it was sent in a shipment along with SN923 to the South. I inquired with Colt for the letter on it and they responded with no letter exist. I contacted Charles Pate and got one of his books. I corresponded with him concerning...

    WANTED Looking for a .32 or .36 for my wife.........really

    It should not be a surprise to those of you out there that have gotten older and had to deal with bad shoulders and bad wrist that holding a heavy barreled long rifle on target is very difficult. I had to say goodby to my 32 and 36 caliber rifles and switched to 45 cal. My 45 cal. rifles are...

    Rare Colt 1860

    Considering the condition of this 159-year-old Colt it is still has rare and historical significance. As one of the famous order of 500 revolvers shipped to Richmond, Virginia on April 15th. 1861, two days after the surrender of Fort Sumter. These 500 Colts, shipped to Williams, Peters and...

    Rare Colt 1860

    You are again correct. The 500 gun shipment was sent to this address Peter Williams & Co. Richmond Virginia. Upon arrival the shipment was seized by the confederates.

    Rare Colt 1860

    I have to assume that the letter from Colt that refers to the CSS Alabama is perhaps the fault of the person at Colt who researchs the shiping data for the guns in question. Here is what I found on John Low. He was born in Aberdeen 24th January 1836. His parents died soon after his birth and he...

    Rare Colt 1860

    You are correct about the dates of the Fort Sumter, April 12th the first shots fired..April 15th was the day the U.S. Army evacuated the fort and the Confederates took possession of the fort. Lt. Low was a maritime supply agent before the war started and as the war began he was involved with...

    Rare Colt 1860

    You might be right about the finish, can't tell for sure. The patina is even across all parts, something difficult to attain when re bluing.

    Rare Colt 1860

    I have been slow to respond to the comments as I wanted to hear as many as I could before adding any other information. History of the revolver: After doing more research I have verified to my satisfaction that this revolver, SN924 was part of the shipment of 500 revolvers sent to Peter Williams...

    Rare Colt 1860

    I worked in D.C. for four years and hunted on land near Winchester. My GG Grandfather was a cavalry scout for Jo Shelby's Iron Brigade and was shot in the leg before the battle of Pea Ridge, AR. Did you GG Grandfather or his decendants eventually come to Texas? That is where this gun ended up.
