That's him! Are we kin?!
Call Atlanta Cutlery.
?? A knife shop??
So who is the antique rifle/colt guru on the trader?
They know their antique firearms.
Great. Thank you
The gun looks to be in very good shape, they were only made between 1883 and 1885 with less than 6500 made. Winchester and Colt made a gentleman's agreement to stay out of each others market.
Unfortunately they are down in price from where they had been in the past. At one time they were bringing $20k to $25k. Today when I see them sell they are generally in the $8k - $9k range. But I have not seen many sell in years that look in as good of shape as your does.
I have one that is saddle worn and I am sure has a great history where your looks like it lived a gentleman's life. Lucky for you it is now worth more
