I've acquired this Colt .22 and don't have much information on it. It's in okay condition, it looks like it could still fire it (I won't unless it gets checked out first), appears all the bluing is gone, but the wood stocks look good and there does seem to be some significant pitting.

Anyone have an estimate on how much it may be worth?

If you want to shoot it - confine yourself to .22 CB Caps.

I've seen a goodly number with blown apart cylinders from modern .22 Shorts.

It's basically built of soft wrought iron.

Yours was made 1874. Dont shoot it, it's a black Powder gun.

I have five of these in different finishes, bronze, blued, nickel w/ wood grips and nickel w/ ivory grips, engraved nickel. I think If you used 22 short BB you might be ok, but I won't take a chance with mine
