Gun #4 in the series (last one for a while...I got real work to do).
The beauty is a Colt 1860 Army Round Cylinder Model revolver.
Fjestad #30 (pg 516) says that a 95% specimen would be $15,000. Trying to use the guide at the start of that book to compare (e.g. on page 48 the Colt SAA Cavalry model) my poorly trained perspective would say "NRA Very Good" or "0%-30% condition, so $3,500?
Fun stuff!
