Ian.
I like your gun.
I have one made in 1900.
I bought so long ago that it cost $100
The one in the auction has a barrel/front sight like an Army Special??
Ian.This one hammered at $1000, by the time you add in buyer’s premium, shipping, and FFL fees, you are easily in excess of $1200. Yes, it does have condition and is in the more desirable .41 Long Colt, but it wasn’t that long ago you could pick these up regularly for much closer to $500 than a grand:
Colt 1895 New Army & Navy Revolver .41 LC
.41 LC Serial # 286869 Excellent overall condition sporting original Colt high polish finish. Manufactured in 1907. Barrel 6 C&Rbid.montroseauction.com
This makes me pleased that I picked this .41 Long Colt Army when I did:

I bought this one 50 years ago, and had much fun in researching it. Lots of history with this Colt model too.
