Yes No thinking about grabbing this Charleville 1780 American revolution pistol?
FRENCH Antique CHARLEVILLE 1777 Flintlock Pistol American Revolutionary War Dated “(17)80”
https://ancestryguns.com/shop/french...eid=ca82d0d460 .69 caliber so ammo would be consistent with my 1760s French and Indian wars musket. My credit is above the excellent grade and offers are flowing in for interest free loans for 1 year. $5,000 for the musket and 3 more interest free month payments and that is over and paid off. I like to pay cash when I have the money but hell interest free loans are fine with me. Oh God let me have a few beers and probably hit the frigging buy button. Getting old falling apart and I can't take it with me. Next when their paid I will contact to help me find a full auto transferable Thompson.

You or Rick maybe mentioned buying an old Colt forget who was looking?
CIVIL WAR Antique COLT Model 1860 ARMY Revolver Made in 1862 in Hartford, Connecticut https://ancestryguns.com/shop/civil-...eid=ca82d0d460 Nice guy at Ancestry Guns. He stays super straight up on the quality of the weapons he sells. This down to the slightest hair line crack or original parts replacements. I am checking my lottery number right now if I hit I am grabbing this one to. |

[/QUOTE] That's a good price and would pick it up in a heartbeat if I hadn't just gone for three toys for me and my guys, plus a Jeep and a Sportster for my wife and I. Good luck with that lottery thing. cerberus |

I dont know enough about antique colts to avoid getting burned by a fake, or one that has been worked over and had its parts replaced by some clever artist... to take a chance.
There are plenty of them for sale at the Phoenix shows that look to me to have had their grips replaced, parts replaced with new ones that have been "antiqued" etc. I would almost rather trust buying one that was for sale in a pawn shop than at a gun show.

Lot 60: Cased Colt Model Colt Civilian Walker Revolver
Sanders I am guessing the bidding on that started at damn close to a mil. $$ ??. Bidding was like today and through the next few days so I want to see what that one went for?? My God like the Woolworth collection that auctioned off holy sheet that was and incredible collection of fine weapons Woolworth "From the stores" Woolworth. I have two old catalogs here from the 1950s 60s "Miami Museum of Historical Arms and Cutlery." Colts, Civil war, American revolution arms, Knight in Armor gear, swords, etc. etc. You would get sick looking at the prices. $35.00 for old early 1800s Colts pistols just on and on low prices. But a hard working construction laborer in the 1950s was probably taking home maybe $75 a week?? So I guess everything is relative? Oh my God my lottery ticket now where did I put that damn thing.??????? |

Wonder why someone would own that beautiful Colt Rick posted for $200,000 and not spend a lousy few dollars and spray paint it flat black? That could look like a real Hollyweird cowboy gun? |
