If you ever want to sell that Colt, let me know. My grandfather had one back in those days, but my grandmother sold it after his death in 1944. He was a foreman for the Copper Queen mine, in charge of the "powder monkeys" who set the explosive charges in the mine. Retroactively, I want to kick her for ever selling that old single action Colt instead of keeping it for my grandfather's heirs. It was part of Bisbee history.
