I’ll try to go back to the shop this evening and take more photosNot from just those photos I can't.
I can tell you that they one look like they may be commemorative models with the fancy plating. They usually tend to go for less than a non-commemorative model because they are not as desirable. Sometimes you can pick up a real bargain with a commemorative model.
Then again, they may have been refinished that way.
No way to tell from those photos.
thanks! looks like you are right. It’s thr Colonial Colt 1 of 500. And priced is exactly how much it would be at auction ..$1500The one on the left is a Colonel Sam Colt Sesquicentennial Commemorative 1 of 5000. I haven't identified the one on the right. The gun shop probably knows what they have and are priced for as much as they can get. If you want a gun to shoot keep looking. Shoot these just once or even just turn the cylinder and the value will plummet.

Question. If it a Colt Commemorative, it not worth as much as a non… why not wear it and shoot the snot out of it? It’s a handsome gun
from what I read… It’s never going to be worth as much as a untouched Colt of the same era, so why not get it out it’s case and have fun with it. You guys know what I’m saying?You could but it will lose value.

I’m going to wear and shoot them! Just want a true Colt for Cheap! and if people don’t like the commemorative guns, more power to me.A Montana commemorative sold at an RIA auction for $1,840. That was a higher-numbered one with the Pearlite grips, though.
This gun shop seems to know what it's doing, price wise.
Personally I would rather have a run-of-the-mill 2nd Generation, in equivalent condition, than a commemorative.
you think these are gen 2?I would rather have the one on the right. I'm not fond 73's without fluted cylinders.

The one on the right is not as flashy, more like a normal gun.I would rather have the one on the right. I'm not fond 73's without fluted cylinders.
