Find Antique Revolvers like Antique Colt Revolvers and Other Antique Guns

1199 - ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR REVOLVER. COLT 1862 POLICE REVOLVER, FACTORY ENGRAVED, FACTORY IVORY GRIPS.
This is a very good to fine condition Police Revolver. It shows standard #2 style engraving of Gustave Young's shop. It retains traces of blue in protected areas of the barrel mixing with a dove-gray patina. Markings, edges and action are sharp and crisp and the ivory grips are nearly flawless. Popular with Civil War Union Officers, many of these guns are found inscribed and identified as to who carried them during the war. I found an old clipping with this gun from the Gun Report Magazine that showed it offered for sale by famed firearms dealer Herb Glass in 1993 or so. The price was $2,500.00. Ahhh, the good old days.

1158 - ANTIQUE COLT SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. ETCHED PANEL 44.
Every once in a while a really great gun comes out of the woodwork that I can't decide whether to keep or sell. These types of guns are hard to describe, but you sure know one when you see one, and these are the guns that I continue to describe as the best of all. They not only look and feel like a true antique that speaks of prior adventure, they look as if you could take hold of them and begin a new one. This is such a gun, so untouched that it makes you very happy to have found such a wonderful, historic hobby. Deep rich brown patina with flashes of original blue and case colors scattered about the metal surfaces. Full, visible etched panel that is usually gone on these earlier guns in the 50,XXX range and grips that would be appropriate on a $30,000 gun. It is just attic-mint with all surfaces smooth and nearly blemish free. If it sells, it sells. If it doesn't, I'll be quite pleased to keep it.

This is a really nice and historic Colt Root Revolver. The pictures speak for themselves. The gun is sharp and crisp, the checkered grips are near perfect and there are generous amounts of original finish scattered about the gun. Bond was detailed as aide-de-camp on staff of Brigadier-General Daniel Tyler; was with General Tyler when he joined General Pope's command near Corinth, Mississippi, in 1862, then operating under Major-General Halleck; served with command at Farmington and in other light engagements that resulted in the capture of Corinth and advance of the army as far south as Blackland, Mississippi.

1153 - COLT 1849 POCKET REVOLVER, CASED WITH ALL ACCESSORIES IN AN ORIGINAL FACTORY CASE WITH SOUTHERN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA DEALER LABEL.
This is another fantastic little Colt that we traded for recently. The box is in excellent condition inside and out. The label is from "S. Sutherland, importer of English, French and German Guns, Rifles, Pistols & c. No. 132 Main St. Richmond, Va.". This is one of only a handful of known sets with this dealer label in the lid and the set was almost certainly owned by a Son of the South. The gun is in excellent condition showing full, vivid case colors on the frame, hammer and lever. The cylinder shows traces of the blue and the barrel about 70%, the balance having flaked (mostly at the muzzle and the right side of the barrel, as pictures show) and most likely occurred from temperature change rather than use from being in an attic or other unusual storage area. The markings, edges and action show that the gun saw little to no use. The grips are near mint as is the original silver plate on the straps. Even the screws show virtually all their original finish and are unmarked. The accessories are good, but not in so fine of condition as the gun, although the wrench is near mint. I think a buyer should upgrade these accessories. This is an extremely rare, and wonderfully conditioned set and worthy of a great collection.

1147 - ANTIQUE COLT REVOLVER. COLT 1860 ARMY, MARTIALLY MARKED.
This is a really crisp gun that was used but well cared for. It is sharp and crisp throughout as evidenced by about 80% case colors on the frame and quite a bit on the lever and hammer. The barrel and cylinder (with deep, near perfect scene) show traces of finish. The grips are excellent with an average cartouche to the left side only as is normal for an early 4-screw. This is a way better than average Army most likely issued to Cavalry troops on the Union side and a favorite of both. many of these were captured and used by Southerners.

1133 - ANTIQUE COLT HOLSTER FOR A 6" 1849 POCKET REVOLVER.
This is a great little flap for a '49 pocket. It shows decorative carving about the flap and is in fine, supple condition. The closing tab has been replaced and this should probably be changed for a better look and fit. This is an early holster that could have been used before, during and after the Civil War. This would go great with a 6" pocket to really dress up a display. It's a nice one!

This is a very fine box containing a near mint flask with long charger (specifically for the .36 Police & Pocket Navy), 36P marked mold with 95% blue, excellent unopened skin pack by Colt for the Police Model, an excellent nipple wrench, 100 count cap tin with all its japanning, 1 extra Colt marked nipple and the original key that opens the case. All items are 100% original and worthy of an excellent gun. I will NOT piece out this set. It's just right the way it is and looking for an 80%+ Colt Police Revolver.

1122 - EARLY COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.
This is another very good, never tampered with gun. It is in an untouched, light brown patina with generous traces of its original nickle plate and has never been abused. You can tell this by blowing up the photos a bit and looking at the end of the muzzle, front of the cylinder, etc. It is still crispy. It shows what I think are whispers of an original etched panel on the left side of the barrel, but many will say I'm blind. The gun is sharp and crisp with even, but light wear. The address is faint but all other markings are clear, no dings and dents and full grips with 25% varnish. The hammer is a replacement from 1890's period and the trigger and stop screws are good, aged replacements. 52XXX range. It's really nice.

1111 - COLT, MODEL 1851 NAVY REVOLVER, FACTORY ENGRAVED AND GOLD & SILVER WASHED.
We sold this outstanding, museum-grade Navy over a year ago and recently acquired it back as the owner needs to divest of it. It retains almost all of its ORIGINAL silver plate on the barrel and 60% on the frame. The cylinder has prox. 90% ORIGINAL gold gilt (VERY RARE) and wonderful checkered ivory grips. The gun is factory engraved by the master, Gustav Young. The back-strap is 22 numbers from the rest of the gun. Both guns were in a shipment of 50 engraved 1851 Navy Revolvers and they letter factory engraved. This gun is obviously one of a pair that was field mismatched during cleaning. This is a very premium gun that was most certainly carried by a high ranking Union or Confederate Officer during the Civil War. I have seen many 1860 Armies and '61 Navies in this configuration, but this is only the second '51 and the other didn't come close to this condition. This is as rare as it gets. It is untouched. Price is for the gun only. All other items are props.

1099 - ANTIQUE COLT REVOLVER. COLT ARTILLERY MODEL SINGLE ACTION ARMY, MARTIALLY MARKED AND INSPECTED.
This is a very fine to excellent condition Artillery with about 85% original blue on the barrel and 95% on the cylinder. The frame and hammer show 90%+ original medium-bright arsenal case colors. The ejector-rod housing has greyed out on the top surface but retains blue on the sides. Trigger guard is blue with browning to the bow as is the backstrap which also shows dings and dents on its bottom from being use as a hammer but this damage is minimal. The grips are fine and full with similar bottom scoring. The grips are not cartouched. This is a very fine gun that borders on excellent.

1096 - ANTIQUE COLT REVOLVER. COLT ANTIQUE COLT PISTOL. COLT MODEL 1860 RICHARDS CONVERSION ARMY REVOLVER.
This is a strong condition Conversion of the classic big framed Army. It retains about 70% blue on the barrel and most on the rebate. The scene is clear and its finish a deep, plum-brown patina. The frame shows muted case-colors with flashes of vividness. Grips are fine and full with most of their varnish and a crack on the left panel where it meets the frame. The holster is excellent and was found with an old Richards/Mason in it. It's definitely of the period and was made for a conversion. It's lined and it's nice. Priced seperately

1086 - ANTIQUE COLT PERCUSSION REVOLVER, MODEL 1851 NAVY, MARTIALLY MARKED.
This is a truly a "World-Class" Martial Navy that would be very hard to improve upon without approaching 6 figures. The metal and wood condition is near mint. The markings, edges and action are near mint. The grips are virtually perfect and it's hard to imagine how they survived like this. The case hardened parts are near mint, with 99% of the most vivid colors you'll ever see. The barrel has one blemish to the left barrel flat that is about 1/2" long, a mix of blue & brown. The right side shows a trace of thinning at 3 spots about 1/4" wide, very minimal. Other than that, it's about perfect with about all of its blue in the bore. The cylinder retains most all of its blue in its chambers and about 40% blue mixing with plum on the outside over one of the most perfect, deeply rolled scenes you'll ever see on any revolver, hands down. 2 similar revolvers (one in an auction and one at a recent private sale) have knocked on the $100,000.00 door in the last 9 months. They were hardly a tick better than this one. Investment and/or museum quality. They don't come much better and this won't last long.

1083 - COLT 1860 ARMY REVOLVER WITH NEW YORK OR AFTER-MARKET ENGRAVING AND CUSTOM CHECKERED IVORY GRIPS.
Some will say the engraving, the grips, the barrel length or the straps are not factory original. Probably true, but I don't care because its all period and its all done right. One of the cooler things we've ever come across and its not costly to put this little beauty into your collection. Better hurry.

This is a good condition gun with good markings and full grips. There is little scene left but the serial number is still present. The metal parts are original but the gun has been totally refinished and the action needs some work. This gun needs the action put into working order and the finish toned back. If you can do that, you'll have a $1200 - $1400.00 gun.

This is a fine little gun showing strong markings, edges and action. It retains traces of dull blue in protected areas on the barrel and some bright case colors on the frame. The cylinder scene is all there as is 90% of the original varnish. The gun has some small dings about the barrel but not the big ones that would detract from its overall look. It's really nice and with original finish and this condition at this price, well below what you might find elsewhere.

1060 - COLT, 2ND MODEL DRAGOON, MARTIALLY MARKED.
Although this gun has only the slightest trace of blue on the barrel and no other original finish, it is in excellent condition otherwise. All metal parts are nearly sharp as new with a near perfect cylinder scene, near mint grips with perfect cartouches and near perfect markings. They don't come much better and with a darker patina, this gun would have commanded a price in the 20's.

1055 - CIVIL WAR COLT, MODEL 1860 ARMY REVOLVER & ORIGINAL HOLSTER WITH SOLID IDENTIFICATION TO AN IOWA CAVALRYMAN.
This gun is in perfectly untouched condition as is its holster. Original to the last screw, this gun shows full scene, the slightest traces of color and cartouches, and little use. The holster is in similar condition. This was bought from an general antique dealer at the last Gettysburg Civil War show in June. It is ID'd through several notes and letters dating back to the 1950's as well as a 2008 notarized affidavit testifying that the original owner was John Stevenson, Brackett's Battalion of Minnesota Cavalry, later part of the 5th Iowa Cavalry. If you collect Iowa or Minnesota, call me. You will want this gun. It is wonderful for the price.

1047 - COLT 3RD MODEL DRAGOON, FULLY MARTIALLY MARKED.
This is a really nice, big 4-pounder with some fine qualities. It retails generous traces of original blue scattered about its barrel, most of it on the left barrel lug. It shows the early style lever latch and also most all of its original cylinder scene, rare on the martial. The case-colors are mottled on the frame and the grips are full showing visable cartouches. The action, markings, edges and action are all very fine. This is a great gun and these are getting about dried up in terms of availability, even at the high-end auction houses. I will try to get some more pictures up on this gun soon to highlight its fine cylinder.

1034 - CIVIL WAR COLT,MODEL 1860 FLUTED CYLINDER ARMY WITH FACTORY LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO, WILLIAM DENNISON.
Shipped in June of 1861 with 49 other guns, this very good condition Flute is one of the few that factory letter offering the owner a glimpse of its use during the Civil War. These guns were ordered by Dennison and issued to Volunteer Officers in the State of Ohio who unlike enlisted men, normally had to purchase all of their equipment. This gun is in good to very good condition and shows wear and use. Markings, edges and action are good. Colt Fluted Army Revolvers are among the most sought after of Civil War handguns. Any more, they are rarely offered for sale and command high premiums over the standard models.
