BP Pistols value?

[tackdriver]

I Know nothing about BP pistols. Owner died and his widow wants to sell them of course.

Never been fired. All in presentation boxes.

Can anyone give me some direction on selling price or where to start research?
Thx

These are colts and have value. get appraised and do not entertain any offers on here till you know value.

All are colts? Thx. my sister "claims" there wasn't any markings on the pistols other than the owners manual.... I havent seen them in person.

But then she does have "senior" eyesight...

Your pics have the word Colt all over them like a rash.

Definitely worth more money than your average spaghetti gun.

Second or third model release. Very nice new in box.

I’ll give ya tree-fiddy!!!

Swold!!

Yes, they do have the instructions with the word Colt on them. Sister just said she couldnt see anything on the pistols that said Colt.... I assume she took them out of the box to look...Gotta look myself

Thx for the input guys!

Thanks TH.

Im really going to have to see these things myself to see if I can figure anything out.
They were bought YEARS ago... I am hoping (per that discussion you recommended) that they are those 2nd generation ones. I hope it says it somewhere.

I think about $800ish for the single pistols is about right from what I have seen, maybe $200 more to the right buyer who collects these since you have the box and they look brand new. These aren't antique originals from the 1800s, they are obviously from the last 50 years or so. They are supposed to be high quality but I have no personal experience handling actual Colt brand black powder reproductions. You might have better luck and information at a Colt collector's forum. These guys would know https://www.coltforum.com/forums/col...-revolvers.52/

Here was a quick search on gunbroker for some recently completed sales of 1860 Army models:

Colt produced some of these in the 70s for the nation's bicentennial. I think that's what you have there. I've read that they were built by Uberti but finished in the Colt factory. I have a very nice Colt Walker dragoon from the same period, which is why I recognize yours. Mine didn't come with the box but had probably been fired only a couple of times. I gave $350 about 3 years ago for mine and I think it was a steal.

[tackdriver]

Perfect! They seem to be worth considerably more than I thought they were.
I'll take if from here

Thanks everyone!
