Probably not. Unless it is some rare piece, either in itself or by association (e.g., R.E. Lee's own revolver), its value will be in about the range I mentioned. The only "trick" is to estimate the amount of orginal finish remaining, the usual criterion for determining value assuming the gun is functional and not missing parts.

There are literally dozens of books giving antique gun values (and they don't agree) as well as books on that gun alone and on Colts in general. The figures I gave are lowball; I don't like to give a high value sight unseen because people will be disappointed.
