I was at an antique store yesterday. They had a Colt Lightning in very good condition. Not much bluing but looked to be all original parts and matching numbers. It was zip tied shut but the barrel frame and trigger guard and butt all matched. It was in 41 cal. I did not have a bore light so did not take a look. Finish was not much blueing but nice patina. Patent date and rampant colt were visible and not worn off. Grips did not seem damaged and in good condition but with usual wear. They are not open again till tomorrow and would like to get some ideas on if its a buy or not. I don't have pictures my phone was dead and I had not camera. I can go back tomorrow. They were asking 800 but can see if they would go down a bit. Any help appreciated.
