Hello all,
Thanks in advance for any insight....
I inherited some guns a few years ago, and have just recently taken them out of my safe for evaluation. I'm not looking to sell any necessarily, but I'm certainly curious about value and any other information I can getfrom those more knowledgable than myself.
One of the guns I inherited is a Colt SAA Frontier Six Shooter. I have a letter from Colt stating it shipped in 1893 to a hardware store in El Paso, which is more than likely where my ancestor purchased it, being from that part of the country. It's in 44-40 with a 4 5/8" barrel. The blueing is of course worn, however the gun is very solid and tight. The grips are original as near as I can tell. The barrel has some shallow pitting, but all in all very good. Attached are pictures. Any idea what it's worth?
Also, I inherited a Colt Woodsman circa 1939... I'll post a similar thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
