    Default For a disabled friend. Need approx. value of Navy Arms Colt repro .44 cap & ball

    He's owned it for years but it's obvious it's never been fired, is in like new condition. No box. Can you give me approximate range of values for it? If you need more info, or see a photo, I'll post it here.
    Thanks much

    Look on Gunbroker.com. But I`d say $175-$225 I just sold one like it for $195.

    When we sold them new for Navy Arms, these were called the "Reb" Revolvers because they were brass framed copies of the iron frame Leech and Rigdon revolvers. I seem to recall these sold at the NSSA Spring and Fall Nationals for around $75.00 to $ 85.00 new in the early 80's.

    Dixie is selling new Iron (Steel) frame copies of the Leech and Rigdon revolver for $ 265.00.

    Somewhat dependent on make; If it's an actual new made colt somewhat more than above. If Uberti/Armisport 180 to 200 should be reasonable at a gunshow. Picture seems dark and I can't be sure of the frame metal. if it is a brass frame vice blued or case hardened knock off
    50 or so.

    Louis,

    that's a nice lookin pistol. Chances are it's worth more as a keepsake than as a 'must-sell' item.

    good luck

    looks like brass to me

    It is not a new made Colt, they only repro'ed original Colt models and this not one! No more then 200 and I think you would have a hard time selling it for that. Frame is brass---no doubt! Weather it is an accurate copy of anything actually made I do not know! It looks to be a Navy frame (except for rebated cylinder, 44 cal.) so I doubt that it is.
