Colt BP Pistols

[Rockzilla]

Went over to my dads, to help with his basement and
was snooping around..
Found one of these
Colt 1860 Black Powder Pistols, I forgot that "years" ago
I bought all of them for him at Christmas They are all NIB.
Was just wondering .from here just an idea what they might be worth.
here is a pic of one..

NIB? Around $600-700 on Gunbroker.

Oh, they're only worth about a hundred bucks each. But I'll give you two hundred, cause I am a nice guy.



Actually I think 600-800 is fair. I would hold onto them though. I think they'll really increase in value over the years.

thanks appreciate it.. yes all new in box..he has all of them.
didn't know that much...

@zoostation

thanks he doesn't plan on selling them but when I told him around about he said "really"
he's been checking around on the net, figured I would ask around here..

Tell him to never cock them.

A wear line will very quickly appear on the cylinder, reducing the value.

 

[Mike OTDP]

Yup. They aren't as collectible as originals, but are much more collectible than the normal Italian repros.

I collected some of the second generation Colts when I was in the gun business in the 80's. Unfortunately, I sold about half of them to buy high end stereo equipment. Now I wish I had them back. I had the Stainless 1860 Army which they only made 500 of. I sold a 1851 Navy, a 1st Dragoon and a 2nd Dragoon.
Here's what I still have:
1860 Army I bought from someone here.
1860 Army Butterfield Commemorative (1 of 500).
Pocket Police
3rd Dragoon.
I am still in the market for these things but they have to be reasonably priced and NIB unturned.

So what other ones does your dad have?

I bought everyone I could,and was offered, he was into BP, he has several BP kits, I wish I knew, once I find them all and inventory, I will post it, he doesn't get rid of anything..they are all new in the boxes, nothing done to them but open the box and take-em out of the plastic, them back in the box...he had plenty of other toys..
