last evening, milling around the channels, I caught the image of a decent sized older revolver. The program was one of those antique "bring it in and I'll tell you the value" kind. The antique person asked the owner how much was his estimate... "one or two thousand" he replied. After a bit of chatter that sounded like the revolver was - let's say - mediocre in value, the antique guy drops FORTY thousand on the owner.
This revolver had a two-name MFR... it was a Dancer - xxxx (wish I'd taped it). Maybe just Dance - xxxx. I'm not sure.
Just wondering what make it so valuable - looked to be in decent condition - on the TV color pallette it looked brownish-gray (something like a tin-type color); the cylinder was lighter. And it was rather large - a "full-sized" Civil War weapon.
Info? Ideas?
Thanks,
