The usual bigfoot sighting grade kindle photo...
Cylinder has been turned, I do not think it was fired. The flyer in the box shows 1994 models. It was tagged at $399. I traded my unfired Pietta .36 for what I had in it, plus some random knives. I paid around 90 dollars out of pocket.
The box says signature edition. On the backstrap is a gold filled Sam Colt signature. Everything on the gun says Colt, there are no Italian proofmarks.
Lately I have become interested in Cap N Ball revolvers.
What exactly do I have, was it meant to a wall hanger or can I shoot it? Should I shoot it or is it a collectible?
Google turns up prices of twice what it was marked, is that true for this model?
Does it count as a "real" Colt?
I have a .44 1858 Remington by Pietta, so I have lead balls, Pyrodex and caps already.
