I beseech the advice of those who can help!

A good friend of mine has an 1863 Arizona Territory Centennial Edition .45 Colt SAA (2nd Gen) manufacured in 1963. Unfired and mint condition with mother of pearl grips beautiful blueing and gold inlays on the inscriptions as well as beautiful gold plating over half of the gun. The original wood box has some scratches and nicks from sitting around the house for almost 40 years but the revolver is pristine.

I have absolutely no idea how much this thing is worth! Does anybody know of a ball park figure for the revolver? He wants to sell it to me for $1300, should I splurge?

Please help, soon! I have to decide in 5 days.

Thank you.
