"He wants about $7500 for it which also seems odd. " That is way beneath the price for a genuine Walker Colt. I'd require an expert opinion before I bought it.

there is a slight possibility that the revolver could be the last unknown paterson famco prototypes uncle eller allowed saml. to have made there and the number may have some meaning to colt (like 4-12-44 the first time texas was mentioned in congress) been added for whatever reason.

7 paterson "collins" prototypes were supposed to be fabricated, 6 are known. the missin one would have had the LONDON address on the barrel.

Wow! All this thread about something that we do not know exists, let alone if it is what they think it is.

Welcome to the COLT Forum from the Cradle Of Liberty...Pennsylvania !!

Enjoy Our Community Sir... and I hope your new found "Walker" turns out to be authentic.

I am going to suggest that a permanent thread be created: “So you think you have found an original Colt Walker or Paterson.”

If it's priced under 250K be careful.
Ask the seller if it's original or repro aged back. If he says IDK, ask where he got it. Provenance is EVERYTHING with these.

hello shooter; that would be great, perhaps one we could measure against the numerous fakes which abound.

Unfortunately he has no provenance or anything on the item, very sad.

Well, both are beauties my Friend...but I'll admit that the Walker is my overall favorite, a BFR in my favorite caliber has got me to a thinkin'...and we both know that's dangerous !!
