Jump to the end. Better pics and some updated info. This thread was started two years ago!


My Wife inherited these guns and we aren't the kind of people to just hang on to stuff just because, and we would never display this stuff in our house either, so it's time to go.

Right up front I'll say that finding values on these firearms has been very difficult. I'm open to negotiations. If you happen to be a dealer I am interested in the new Sig P365-380's as I plan to buy at least 2 of these soon. Not really looking for any other guns or bikes right now.

The list:
Colt F1600 Walker
Colt F1210 1860 Army
Colt F1110 1851 Navy
Colt Black Powder Arms 1860 Army This one is considered the "3rd gen" or "signature series". Has all the Colt markings, but is basically a repro. Colt will not service it.


The "F" guns are actual Gen2 Colts as far as I can tell. The Warranty cards which would show the address is still sealed inside the package and I do not want to open that up. The owners manual does have a 1978 copywright on it which is visible in some of these photos. All three of these guns are in the same condition and have the same manual stuck to the lid of the box.

All four of these weapons are "as new" having never been fired or cylinders rotated. They are in the original boxes with all of the original contents. In fact the manual and warranty cards have never been opened. The Colt boxes show a good amount of shelf wear, but the boxes themselves are still in good physical condition. The CBPAco box looks new. As far as I know these weapons have only been removed from their boxes for photographs and the occasional handling. For at least the last 20 years they have been stored in their boxes in a safe in an air conditioned house. Before that we have no knowledge. They get wiped down and put back in their boxes any time they are handled.

The pics:
Sorry they got all jumbled in this album. Not sure how to fix them. Click this image for a gallery!

If you want specific pics let me know I'll pull it out of the safe.


Pricing:
This is tough. The prices are all over the map and most info is a decade old. I'm just going to throw a price on them and see what happens. If you feel its unfair explain it to me and we'll see if we can come to an agreement.

F1600 Walker $1400
F1210 1860 Army $1300
F1110 1851 Navy $1200
CBPAco 1860 Army $750

Also I have another CBPAco 1860 Army. No box, no history. Has witness marks, but I don't think it's ever been fired. No residue in it. Looks just like the one in the pics above but has a hunting scene engraved on the cylinder. This one is very clean other than the obvious cylinder rotation marks.

Would make a great shooter. Call this one $300 SOLD!

I dug out another one. I don't have any history on this one either, but it looks unrotated/unfired. There are no marks on it that I can tell. (Edit, after looking at the pics I see a tiny rotation mark on one cylinder notch. I couldn't see that with my naked eye)

This one is probably a 2nd Gen as well. I say that because it's case hardened and the serial number returns a hit from 1978 on Colt's website. I'm not sure how good that info is, but it's something.

1851 Navy (octagonal barrel). In presentation box with loading supplies (all empty, just for show). The box has some wear on it. Nothing that couldn't be touched up by a decent woodworker, but just know the box is scratched up on the outside. I do have the little medallion that goes around the keyhole, it's in the box.

Pricing. I saw one pistol-only go for 1050. I saw another set like this one (although in mint condition) go for nearly 1500. I figure I'll start at $1000 for this set. Like everything else these are hard to price, so if you have some comps to back it up I'm happy to talk about pricing.

Colt 2nd Gen 1851 Navy in presentation case. $1000.

F1600 Walker $1200
F1210 1860 Army $1100
F1110 1851 Navy $1000
CBPAco 1860 Army $550

Price drop on all.

If you are at all interested please contact me and let's talk price. I am still at a loss as to what these are really worth.

So, I got some interest, but no offers on these pistolas when I posted them two years ago. Then my Wife and Daughter were in a wreck, and I put this on the back burner. Well, I'm back at it and want to clean out the safe a bit.

These are back up and I still have no idea where to price them. There have been a few second gen Colts ("F" series) listed at different places on the internet but I believe those prices are pretty high for the real value.

This Walker is on Gun Broker right now and I am going to watch it closely to determine where the true value is to people actually interested in buying something like this.
*not my gun, it just happens to be on GB*

These things have not come out of the safe since I listed them two years ago. I am still entertaining any real offers, especially if its backed up by comps.

These are pics of MY Walker for comparison. My cardboard box is in better shape.

This is the one that is not a "real" Colt and was produced by the CBPAco. It's still in the same unused condition as the others.
