Hello, I am interested in purchasing a Colt revolver, and I am new to this area of expertise. I know enough to go to the experts on this sort of thing, so I came here. This is the revolver.....
It comes with an "Official" colt letter dating back to 1970. The owner said the man at colt who gave the letter was an HR Wagner. Not sure if this is of any use.... he says that the numbers match, but the loading gate has a number of 311 on it? Not sure what that means. The serial Number is 144,462. The barrel he said has some minor pitting, but said it is typical of guns this age, I'm not so sure.....
The barrel is marked >41 Long colt on the left side and Colt firearms MFG Hartford conn on the top.....
He wants 4500.00 bucks..... It's a ton of money, but is it really worth that much in this condition? is it worth more if someone had it redone with say Turbull? Please advise a newby. I really appreciate the help. I should mention that it is not being sold as an army version, but he makes no statement about the model of it, other than it is a Colt .41 single action..... What do I call this thing?
