Hello... And thank you in advance for any help you can give with the following two pieces.

1) Colt double action revolver I need help identifying, and getting an idea of value(for insurance)...

Specifics:
Side of barrel inscription:
Colt.D.A.38

Top of barrel inscription:
COLT’S PT.F A MFG.CO.
HARTFORD, CT U.S.A.
PAT AUG.5.84.NOV.6.88.MAR.5.95.

Side of Flat cyl release and inside swing-out cyl arm and corresponding frame:
130

Looks like the serial number is on the bottom of the butt:
280
1xx

There is a hump blade front sight, fixed grove rear sight, hard rubber checkered grip with the prancing horse and “COLT”. Grips in excellent shape.

It’s about a 75-80% gun. Bore is good, clean with good lands and grooves. Blue is rubbed, but still 60-70%.


2) Ruger single action revolver I need help identifying, and getting an idea of value(for insurance)...

Specifics:
Ruger New Model Super “Single-Six” .22 caliber single cylinder catalog No. SSR-5 5 ½ Bbl. Serial number 261-206xx (NOT CONVERTIBLE!!! Only sold with 22lr cyl)

Has adjustable sights. And, is a 95-98% clean gun. Bought new in May of 1986.

Thanks again for any help putting a value to these… I can’t find either in the catalogs. :banghead: :mad: :cuss:

Can't be of much help directly but - I think your request deserves a ''nudge''. :)

Colt: Which way does the cylinder revolve, how many locking notches per chamber (none, one or two), is the trigger guard width blended into the frame or stepped down?

On the Colt, with those markings it can't be anything else but a New Army and Navy Revolver. In the absence of U.S. markings on the butt, it is a civilian model, made in 1907. The 130 is an assembly number, used to keep parts of the same gun together during the finishing and assembly process.

Value, of course, depends on condition. One in 70% should go for around $400 or a bit more. If the gun has problems (and almost all do), the value would be considerably less.
