My father has an old Colt D.A. 41. The gun's original owner (a relative's uncle) was a Deputy U.S. Marshall in Oklahoma Territory.
The last copyright year was 1897. The gun had supposedly seen some action back in its day. The barrell is pitted, and the timing is off.
Would something like this have any value? He's thought about having a couple of the local antique dealers take a look at it.
Also, what finish would this have been? It wasn't blued, he checked under the grips...was it bare metal or could it have been a worn off nickel plate??
Thanks for any (and all input) in advance!
