What would you estimate is the current value of an original Colt 1855 "Root" Sidehammer .28 caliber pistol, Model 2?

About $1500 to $1700 would be my estimate.

Priceless if I was still hunting rabbits with a revolver.
Seriously, that's a lovely piece.

auction ends in 21 minutes, no bids so far... I could get it for $750 + premium... still on the fence...
ETA: so far I am the only Internet bidder, will see how it shakes out

Go for it! Is that a stock picture or a picture of the actual pistol?

unfortunately I did not, I was not quite sure how this auction format worked... I had the high (only) internet bid, yet it turned out there was a follow-on live component... it ended up selling for $950, but with buyer's premium and taxes, the final total was $1264.90 for the ultimate winner
