After having owned many Ubertis, Piettas, ASMs, and etc I came into a Colt 3rd Gen Walker recently. I love it! I love the bone color case, and the markings- except for the signature on the backstrap which I will be taking off as soon as I figure out how I'll get it re-blued.
Anyways, I've decided to sell off a couple Uberti and Pietta guns and reinvest in another Colt, an 1860. Other than the signature, is there any real appreciable differences between 2nd gen and 3rd gen? Oh, and these are gonna get shot and carried a LOT. I plan to get Mike Brackett at Goons Gunworks to work them over for me mechanically.
Also, as far as the markings and such go, how close are the 2nd and 3rd generation Colt percussion revolvers to 1st gen originals?
