LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE JUST LEVELED THE PLAYING FIELD ~ Suddenly the
Yankee Colt Army probably looked weak . . . Can you imagine unloading this
nine plus one shot revolver . . . while riding hard and fast into blue belly cavalry
. . . . HAAAAAAAAWWWW . . . Gorgeous LeMat Revolver with matching
numbers and mechanically sound .... The loading lever has no matching number
... and my guess an old replacement. Whole lot of revolver here with strong
condition and eye appeal . . . The original wood grips look great and just a solid
example. Fine enough for any collection and priced below what I saw this
weekend.

MAN'S MAN ~ Thomas Benton Smith was the youngest of the Confederate
Brig. Generals. His history would make for one hell of a motion picture.
Severely wounded at The Battle of Murfreesboro and again in the Georgia
Campaign. He fought bravely at The Battle of Franklin and Nashville were he
was captured. Shortly after being captured and while being held as a prisoner
he was beaten over the head with a sword by a yankee officer. As a result of
the injury he would be sent to Tennessee State Hospital for the insane after the
War. Where he died on May 21, 1923. One day when you have the time . . .
Please read about this real American's History and service. Just in case this
quick write up is vague . . . I truly love this artifact.
SOLD
SCARCE MODEL ~ Here is an example we don't sneak up on everyday . . . . .
Colt Pocket Navy ".36" caliber Revolver . . . . These Colts are scarce in the
original design as many were converted to percussion. All serial numbers match
including the wedge. Production started in 1862 . . . I will update with exact
year of production tomorrow. The action works fine and the only "boo boo" is
the former owner cleaned it up. These guns were very popular and well used .
. . . The patina could be enhanced but will darken back over time naturally.
The barrel address is visible but spotty and the cylinder has serial numbers and
some faint scene. Priced to ride off into the sunset.
$935.00
IS THAT A SIX INCH COLT OR ARE YOU GLAD TO SEE ME ~ I can hear
John Wayne now . . . " Ma am I hate to say it . . but . . . it's a Colt " . . . Sorry
. . . This is what happens when the I get 4 hrs. straight sleep without one of the
kids waking me up . . . Nice Model 1849 Colt Pocket Model Revolver with all
matching serial numbers . . . except the wedge. Wedge patina matched and
looks like a Colt wedge. The original grips look awesome with plenty of original
finish. The action works but has a sloppy cycle . . . I bet an easy fix but it's fine
the way it is . . . in my opinion. The cylinder has nice visible serial number with
traces of faint scene. These six inch barrel Colts are normally in the $1,250.00
range . . . Lets get this one REBEL RELIC PRICED . . . . . . . . . . . .
$995.00
IT'S A COLT ~ I really like this Colt "Police" Revolver . . . All matching
numbers including the wedge with flawless action. This is a very nice Civil War
Colt with plenty of original varnish on the grips and visible barrel address. This
one is out of the Kentucky Collection . . . Local Kentucky Southern History.
