What is current value D Moore 1860 revolver?

Answer 1

Daniel C. Moore made revolvers of his own design from the 1850's into the 1870's under at least two company names over that time in Brooklyn, NY and worked as a contract designer/inventor for other companies such as Merwin, Hulbert & Co.. Moore revolvers aren't followed like collectors like they deserve to be so they don't sell fast or for what 150 year old revolver really should bring. The market for antique guns has been depressed since the 2008 crash as well. For absolutely current pricing trends you check www.gunbroker.com, www.auctionarms.com, www.gunsamerica.com as Moore revolvers pass through those occasionally. You can also list it on them and see what you're offered. Depending on condition, remaining finish, functionality, any connected story or accessories/holster etc. you've got a $250-2500 revolver with a $800-1200 a guess from what they've been going for in good condition but with no backstory. Some would have been carried by Union soldiers and officers as personal purchases, most would have been in civilian hands. Who owned it makes a huge difference in value for this era's guns.
