For sale...
I have the following original Colts for sale. None are advertised for shooting, though all may become shootable with a little love. I, like many of us, are absolute fanatics of this time period's firearms, but these will just sit in my gunsafe for eternity and unviewed or shared with others. So offered here for anyone who wants to own a piece of history or wants to restore and see what they become.
1849 Pocket pistol. All the original bluing has worn, but it is in otherwise nice shape. The barrel is a bit lose to the receiver, and the barrel wedge screw does not appear original. I expect a competent smith like Lodgewood could find a way to tighten things up. But superb display piece. $600 shipped

Colt Root Revolver. Neat little pistol. Appears to time and function well. $700 shipped

2nd Model Derringer. Neat rimfire. This one might be shootable right now. Pretty tight. But a nice display or conversation piece. $350 shipped.

3rd Model Dragoon. In nice condition these are the holy grail it seems. But this is not a $5000 revolver. It's got its wear, the action needs a little love, and I am not convinved the barrel is numbers matching to the rest. Hard to read the serial number. But it is all original and a 3rd model dragoon... $1600 shipped.
