Item Name: FS OLD OLD BELGIUM REVOLVER*1800'S* COLT COPY"REDUCED"
Location: Fayetteville
Zip Code: 30214
Item is for: Sale/Trade Only
Sale Price: $200.00
Caliber: .44WCF
Willing to Ship: No
Bill of Sale Required?: No
Item Description: "Frontier Army" stamped on top of the receiver. According to what I could find on the computer, it was made by J B Ronge in Liege Belgium between 1880 and 1900. Other computer info refers to Ronge in the mid 1800's so I can't verify age. Caliber is not stamped on the pistol but believed to be 44WCF. Mechanics seem to operate correctly. Cylinder advances when operated as a double action but does not appear to be a single action like old Colts. Purchased from an elderly collector, unique and apparently a rare piece. Unusual coloring is not rust, just natural patina.
***Just a note: Most of the questions I've received concerns shooting this gun. I'm not a gunsmith but considering it's age, I'm thinking a wall hanger, desk display or show and tell. Use caution and common sense so we can trade again later.
$200, may consider trades. I'm interested in old semi-auto pistols, .32's, .38 super, foreign or domestic. Would really like to have a .old 38 super, again foreign or domestic. I could add cash for the right gun and the right deal. 770 461 -7031 Home, Mike. PM or call with questions. Can meet in Fayetteville, ATL Airport area or possibly intermediate spot.
