Hi - I'm relatively new to the forum and definitely new to Colt SAA's. I'm hoping that some of you forum members can provide some advice about this unusual set of consecutive S/N Colt/Talo "Last Cow Boy 1 0f 300" edition that I quite accidentally acquired. I purchased the 'standard' Colt/Talo 'Last Cow Boy etc" around Feb this year - S/N LCB175. About a month later, at a completely different gun store, I purchased a Colt SAA, brand new, which had been sent to Turnbull for CCH and re-blueing. When I registered the gun I noticed that the S/N was LCB176, not the standard Colt numbers so I enquired from the owner of the LGS what the story was. He told me that he bought this SASA from the Talo rep ( Bob ) and that Talo had sent it out to Turnbull for those modifications. I then called Turnbull and they informed me that a gentleman named Bob ( they wouldn't five me his last name ) had sent them the gun to CCH and Blue. SO far the story checked so I then contacted Talo direct and received an email from 'Bob" as follow - "David, My name is BobTALO had all the Colt The Last Cowboys color cased. I believe what you have is the only one (176) we sent to Turnbull for a comparison. The 175 consecutive was color cased by another vendor. See if you can tell the difference. all from the 1/300 lot"
My question is, does this make the set more desirable/valuable? I believe that consecutive S/N's are more sought after but as this set has a 'story' and is not just 2 identical SAA's How would this affect the value, if at all?
I've attached photos of the guns: 1st is the 'standard' Colt/Talo "Last Cow Boy", 2nd is the Colt/Talo/Turnbull LCB176, 3rd are both together and last is their respective boxes. Any help/info/advice any of you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Dave
