Colt 1851 reissue, consecutive serial #'s in walnut box...
« on: March 16, 2007, 08:00:06 AM »
I have a pair of the Colt 1851 Navy pistols that were reissued in the early 1980's or so. They are consecutive serial numbers, in the Colt walnut presentation box and have never been fired. The only accessory missing from the presentation case is the powder flask. This was the last set available back when they were purchased and someone had removed the flask, I guess. Could anyone give me an idea of what they are worth?

Thanks!

A lot depends if they are in 100% condition and if they have the original boxes and papers. IF they have all of the original boxes and papers, then they will be worth about $550 each, if you can get it. No boxes/damaged boxes/no papers/damaged papers subtract from that, considerably, maybe even $100 each.

The consecutive serial numbers may add saleability, but apparently do not add value.

The presentations box adds value, but only really if it is genuine Colt; the same goes for the accoutrements, except that the missing powder flask will deduct 20% from their cumulative value. Otherwise, I was unable to find a value for this.
