The Colt 1860 Army that I am now the family care taker of has family lore attributed back to it being carried by Jesse James. We have a notarized letter stating it from past family member telling the story to the best of her recollection. Too bad names are not present and that a "friend of a friend" or something worded like that got it from James and then "gave" it to a family member who gave to to a family member and so forth.

The current generation of my family all understand there is no added value to the gun and that like Pancho Villa, Jesse James also has hundreds of guns attributed to him through family lore and legend.
