I just was given from an old friend two guns that his father had left him. I'm trying to find out the approximate worth and any techinical details I need to be aware of in using them.
The first one is a Colt Automatic .32 caliber, serial #440346 and the Patent Dates are 1897/1903. The finish looks all but gone, but it cycles smooth and ate a box of Fiocchi without a problem and was dead accurate. It holds eight in the mag and one in the pipe. Even has the original prancing pony grips.
The second is a single-action Colt 45 that fires .45 Long Colt. It's been chromed sometime in the past. Haven't yet fired it.
Can any of you extremely knowledgable gentlemen help me out on this information seeking quest?
Thanks,
damiano
