A good candidate may be the Starr Model 1858. This was a ball and cap revolver. With cartridge firearms, Forehand & Wadsworth made a .32 revolver inn what we would today recognize as a "double action: revolver. However, there were earlier "double action only" pepper box pistols.
You will have to spell out the maker's name.
Yes their a good single action revolver
what model revolver ??????? what date on the barrel????? value always depends on overall condition.....................
It is a top break style double action revolver that was made by the Iver Johnson Company from 1910-1935. Value is not great, but will be heavily influenced by condition., averaging around $125-$150 for a specimen in Very Good condition.
Yes it is.
29,900 in good shape
price is based on model, condition and date of mfg. if your colt is an early single action revolver then it would have been made about 1880. good single actions command a high price. but you will not command a high price without full details as to markings and overall condition as well as pictures.................if it is a modern colt revolver then the high price will not be there.................
Unfortunately, we need more information to give you a real answer. The value of ANY firearm is based on the exact make, model and condition. There are at least a couple of dozen models of S&W revolvers that could be described as a "38 snub nosed" revolver. Perhaps the most common would be the Model 36 Chief's Special. In blued steel, good condition, about $350.
It is not possible to answer a question that supplies no information. We cannot see your revolver, and have no idea of the make and model that might guide us to giving you a real answer. Good questions= good answers.
The revolver was actually the S&W Mdl 1917, even though most were delivered in 1918. It was made to fire the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge (ACP) but markings were .S&W 45 DA (double action). Here is a link to a good article on the revolver: http://www.gunsandammo.com/historical/wwi-wheelgun-the-sw-model-1917/
I have a 865 Lever action, it seams to almost double feed, and does'nt want to eject the shell very good.
