Big Buck, Current (2011) Collectors Handbook values for sets are as follows:
Colt Model Civil War Grant - 100% - $800; 98% - $525 Colt Model Civil War Lee - 100% - $800; 98% - $525 Colt Model Civil War Grant + Lee double cased - 100% - $2000; 98% - $1300 Colt Model Conquistador - 100% - $3250; 98% - $2125 Colt Model Butterfield Overland Stage - 100% - $1000; 98% - $650 Colt Model Interstate Edition - 100% - $3750; 98% - $2450 Colt Model 1862 Pocket Navy - 100% - $750; 98% - $500 Colt Model 1862 Pocket Police - $800; 98% - $525 I didn't include value for New In the Box (NIB) sets because the chance of you finding a set with all the original packaging is slim to none. NIB would add 15 to 20% to the 100% value. Prices realized have been pretty much in line with estimates; but, you can sometimes find a real deal. You might want to get 'Colt Percussion Revolvers - The Second Generation Collectors Handbook and Pricing guide #6' from Dennis Russel. It's $34.95 plus postage from: Dennis Russell 3162 Johnson Ferry Road Suite 260-607 Marietta, GA 30062 Here are pictures of some of my sets: Baby Dragoon, 1860 Army, 1862 Pocket Navy & 1862 Pocket Police 1 of 500 sets Cavalry Commemorative, R E Lee, Bicentennial, and U S Grant cased sets Grant/Lee matched pair cased set (with all original packaging) And the Buttterfield Overland Despatch commemorative set I haven't acquired a Conquistador or Interstate set............................. yet

Fingers is right.
But, I do have an unfired RELee in display box w/accessories like shown in his pics. It has been cocked but no screws turned. I love it and wouldn't sell it for less than 875--including box and accessories. No paperwork or shipping box. [email protected] WBH WBH |

Finger,
thanks a lot for your proper point of view. I could not find any image about that interstate set. Is there a picture available? Greetings Bigbuck |

I've never seen an Interstate set & don't know of any pictures. Colt catalogs of the time don't even have pictures of it.

Gyvel,
Thank you iam also pretty happy. Yesterday i saw an Original Colt made arround 1863 in good working condition as well as a Remington same period and good working condition. I could inspect both of them and i think they are still good shooters. What is a reasonable price for that at the moment in the US? regards Thomas |

Fingers, your collection get's more impressive every time you share photo's of parts of it !!!
BigBuck007, the revolvers you're looking at (the originals), are going between $850.00 to $1,300.00 in good shootable condition. Obviously the better the appearnce the better the price. Got any pic's of the ones you're considering? |
