Do we have an "Ignore Button" here? :D

For the record, I have EVERY Colt (and revo for that matter) I've ever purchased!

Very nice. I haven't owned a wheel gun for a long time. Not sure why other than I do not know much about them as I have not kept up. My last one, really wasn't one, a cowboy set up .22 that I popped partridge with snooping and pooping in the north Maine woods just east of Baxter State Park as a kid.

I humbly and happily stand corrected! So dueling case?:D

Here's mine. Has the original grips and I had it Armoloyed.

However, after grandstanding like that, I'll let you throw a pie in my face if I sell either of the aforementioned guns funny

I think I will but probably not the original Colt wood grips - I want a bit more in the hand than that. I really like these:

but also Hogue wood grips for half the price.

Cool, is that a gunmetal gray color? Was the finish shot or did you just want something different?

The finish was originally blue, but Armoloy was the latest and greatest at the time and since it was a carry gun for me off duty I thought it was a good idea. Back then early 70's, it only cost $50 so I shipped it off to Texas and had it done. It has served me well all these years and actually is easier to keep clean, since the finish is kinda sorta like Teflon. I guess you could call it gray or even a brushed finish?

^^^ Very cool back story on the coating. I think the fact that it's a period "hard hat" really adds some panache!
