Colt signature 1860 STAINLESS!!!
« on: July 17, 2022, 12:34:39 PM »
Found this at the LGS for a grand. I've never even seen one before!!! A stainless 1860 Colt signature series .44...

I can't get the pics to post fire some reason. I'll try from work tomorrow. If anyone wants this, let me know and I'll get them to hold it.

That might actually be worth 1000.00.

I had one of the nickel plated Sig Series 1860s years ago, sold it for about $600. Never seen a stainless steel version. By the way Bruce, that's not a Sig Series box, it's a 2nd Gen box made in the 1980s.

I thought the second gens were all made in Italy and would have import marks or am I wrong in that? Was the second gens available in stainless?

The 2nd gens were made from parts bought from Uberti and finished and assembled by Colt. There are no import marks. There were some made in stainless. 3rd gens were made by the Colt Black Powder Arms Co. which was owned by Lou Imperato and had no affiliation with Colt. Lou bought the license to make them. Colt did not offer the license. CBPAC made them out of Uberti parts in the old Iver Johnson factory with some small parts made in house. Colt will letter the 2nd gens and collectors consider them to be real Colt's. Colt wont letter the 3rd gens. They didn't make them, they wouldn't warranty them, they had nothing to do with marketing or anything else. Most collectors do not consider them to be real Colts.

Ohhhh.... I guess you learn something new every day... Here's the big question, for a grand, would it be worth it to pick up and resell to make a few bucks on or just let it go?

It's a stainless steel 2nd gen.  $1,000.00 is a little high.
