This revolver has been in my family for a few generations, from what I’ve been told it was used in a slaughter house somewhere in Montana in the late 1800’s. It’s pretty much just a display piece now and to tell the truth nobody really looks at it. Somewhere along the line the front sight was filed down and from what I’m told my late uncle cut a few notches in the handle. Just curious if anyone on here would have knowledge on a value on it? And if anyone would be interested in it as collector item.
Who wouldn't be interested in it?
That is cool as heck.
I assume it has antique status, so you can sell it to anyone, which will definatley make it worth more.
I think you should hang onto it, just because it has been in your family for generations.
Maybe the next generation will have more interest in it.

Beautiful family heirloom , probably has some great history.
Looks a lot like a Colt 1860 Army
X2 Looks like the 44 cal Colt Army Model 1860. Which was based on the 36 cal 1851 Navy.
