Oh my gawd.... how I wish I could be even just a fly on the wall to see this in person. That's truly an amazing piece of history. If only they could talk. The things it could tell..
I remember the story of Number #1 found in an attic. Number #2 looks like a movie gun ! It looks fantastic. The Henry Nettleton revolver is awesome. I've never seen one is such condition
Wow!!! You folks probably have sold the most iconic firearms ever known to man. Every time I think you've reached the pinnacle of firearm collecting, you unearth, so to speak, some other incredibly rare specimens. In my perfect world, some ultra incredibly wealthy person would purchase all the best of the best and the rarest of the rare, and put them all together in a museum. A museum open to the public, to be able to see and marvel at all the finest arms the world has known. I can dream can't I?
Ok but the real question was it used ? How many men did it stop? Whose handle is that, is is original I looks like the owner made it himself , that’s not bad
I own a Bob Munden custom Colt SAA .45Colt and I wouldn't take a penny less than several MILLION dollars for it !!! WHY ? Well I can't go out and replace it for no amount of $$$$ now that he's passed on !!!
That's Slick Rick not wanting to give a damn for history and real valuable guns !!! Hahahaha !!! But that's a pawnshop owner's mentality buy cheap and sell HIGH !!!
Absolutely incredible piece of history. I do Have a wish list but Umm, Colt Army serial number (2). Might be about 900 thousand dollars over my budget.
Only other one like that pearl handled pistol I know was Butch Cassidy's. Was on display in Malta Montana at the museum were it was stolen. Never seen another bull head carved handle since that pistol.
Maybe not rare, but the fact that it's a very early production (1874), an antique, and a blackpowder frame are all things very desirable to collectors. Additionally, the value will vary quite a bit dependent on things like its condition, originality, provenance, and any special order features.
I think the guns are great , but I think you should cut down on the wide angle shots and just do descriptions dubbed over close-ups on the guns . I am not a person who has to have somebody tell me how awesome something is , could you just let the guns sell themselves ? .. these videos are good but they could be great . BTW , That guy isn't good looking enough for so many close-ups anyway ( kidding now ) .
Deadhorse, you know, I know you know), that there have been a few VERY skilled gunsmiths and metal workers that have done awesome reworks on these Colts,,(Tommy H. for one) and this is why they are such a risky gun to spend big money on. I have invested and collected another Cav. side arm that does not attract the scammers nearly as much as Colt and when I do acquire it is one that has honest use and wear, but still 100% correct. :)
