On a slightly different note, I saw post 3444 (Walker belly gun), and it reminded me of an auction that I attended a few years back, north of Toronto. It was an original Walker, minus the barrel, but intact otherwise. It was "Company C", I believe. I held it, and you could tell that it was...

................another pic or two, as the earlier photo makes the grips look too golden. Thought that I'd add the pic of Sam Walker for effect, and the COLTS PATENT stamp as well. Cheers, Bill

Hello Gents, Here's some pics of my Second Generation Walker, one of only 245 made with the COLTS PATENT stamp on the receiver. Being a stickler for detail, I de-blued the cylinder, and it's now "in the white" as are the originals. The oak case is courtesy of Bill Shumate. The accessories...

My apologies to all..........I was too quick off the mark. I'll have to bow out of buying #6. There are 5 remaining to be sold. Only 10 will be made. The pistol is $2995, or cased with all accessories, it's $3995. If anyone is interested, you can contact Gary Rummell at (814) 505-5906...

Cased Walker prototype Just wondered how you like my latest acquisition :rolleyes:....serial number 6. A copy of the prototype Walker made by Blunt & Sims in 1846. Blunt & Syms couldn't make large numbers in the time that Colt wanted the pistol, so he went to Eli Whitney to manufacture them...

I'll try the RWS caps, because my CCI are too small. I want to shoot out the grease before I take her out for "a drive":p. Cheers, Bill

I should add that only 245 were made with the COLTS PATENT on the receiver. None of the other Walkers have that. Never been fired (yet), but the cylinder has been turned. I have two Eley cap tins. One has the remains of a label with caps inside, marked ELEY BROs LONDON. All the serial and...

Here's my latest and Greatest - Colt Second Generation, serial 32309. Only 245 were made in 1981. Funny.....I didn't realise that the muzzle was a clean cut with no chamfering. I also can't figure out why #11 caps won't fit on the nipples! They're CCI.......... The case is custom-made oak by...

For a nice set of Walker pommel holsters, try Hamilton Dry Goods in Tennessee. Cheers, Bill

Try: www.billscases.com Bill Shumate makes excellent wood cases for any type of pistol that you want. He made my Walker case (which I'll show pics of when it arrives very soon). Go to his web site, and see what he's made. I've bought three from him, and they're all top-quality. As for...

Hello RWMC, The Uberti code for your Walker would be "AN" for the year 1985. I have the Uberti codes going back to 1945, and up to 2011 (which is "CH"). Cheers, Bill

Hi Gents, Just over from the Walker site, and thought that I'd show off my Second Generation Walker. It's the 5 digit serial number variation, of which only 245 were made. The oak case is nice, but not as nice as the one I'm getting next week (an exact duplicate of the only known original...

Just thought that I'd share my latest acquisition with you all. Allow me to introduce my Colt Second Generation Walker, serial # 323xx. This is the rare variation with the COLT'S PATENT stamped on the left side of the receiver. Only 245 made. Lovely grips. The oak case is French-fitted for...

Hats off to Del Strazza of Country Classics Shooting Supplies in Alberta, who has gone to bat for me. He has an FFL licence to buy and sell between Canada and the U.S. (and vice-versa). Thanks Del, Cheers, Bill

Caveat emptor..........Let the buyer beware! Anyone out there looking to get a Walker on GUNBROKER, watch out for # 208307716. He's my P.I.A. The Post Office won't do anything, because the item (who cares that there was a bank draft inside) was successfully delivered. My bank said, "Sorry"...
