Hello,
I do not know much about these types of guns, but my father passed away and we are trying to get my mom set up financially to soldier on without my dad.
He had a very nice looking 1851 Navy Colt and I have tried doing as much research as possible to try and determine its' value, but it seems like the range is from $5,000 to $60,000 based on several factors.
I was hoping to post some pictures and see if anyone would chime in to give us a ballpark amount that we should be shooting for. I was also curious if I should spend the $100 to get any records Colt has. Not sure if anyone has done this.
This gun has been sitting in its' box for at least 35 years now, untouched and unmolested. All serial numbers match on the respective parts, and it looks to be in very fine condition.
I have put some pictures at the link below: http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/keeneysr/library/1851 Navy Colt
If anyone could please take a look and just give me an idea of what we've got here, it would be a huge help.
Thank you so much in advance.
