Obviously not an actual "Colt," but then again, I have a "Colt" 2nd gen 1861, and it's actualy made by Pietta, so I'm not quite sure what you are after, but maybe this one will do?

Thank you for sharing. Nice pistol. I am actually looking for a Colt 2nd Gen. I understand they are Italian made.

Colt 2nd gen were assembled and finished in the USA.

Also, the only 31 cal 2nd gen revolver produced was the Baby Dragoon. The 1849 pocket wasn't reproduced until the 3rd gen Signature Series starting in 1994. I have several books by Dennis Adler Johnny Bates& Mike Cumpston and others that tell the true story of the Colt 2nd and 3rd Generation revolvers. There is a lot of baloney spread on these forums that is untrue.

Why would someone respond via pm like this. I call BS. If not post your pics please.

[Dickydalton]

They might post it because they honestly don't know what they have. They may be a scammer. Demand pictures from him before you call me a liar. Here's some pictures from Dennis Adler's book from me.

The first page is ALL of the 2nd generations made and the only 31 is the Model 1848 Baby Dragoon.Those pages are listings of the models produced. Go to the thread about 2nd and 3rd generation Colts put up an hour ago and watch the video for more info.

Well James, is he a scammer? A look at his profile wasn't enlightening.

Well I asked him to post photos of what he has and a price. He never responded.

I won't call him a scammer without knowing if he just didn't know, but, it sure seems a little peculiar doesn't it?

 

[Lslite]

Holy smokes.

 

[tnlonghunter]

Absolutely do NOT contact that PM. Scammer.

Probably a scam but you get older folks that don't know how to upload
photos-- and also that do not know exactly what they have. They need to
ask a Grandkid to help.

Well William, grandpa would have come back and said he couldn't post photos or that he didn't know what he had. This scammer chose to not reply at all. Look at his profile and check on what scammer's profiles look like. He wanted to fleece James and was found out. I was accused of BS and I really didn't like that much, but I am glad he didn't rook James.
