- In just fifteen minutes, eight men lay dead in Coffeyville, Kansas, including 4 of the 5 members of the Dalton Gang. Dying with them were their ambitions to pull off the most daring bank robbery the United States had ever seen.
This Colt Single Action Army was pulled from Bob Dalton's body following what would become known as The Coffeyville Raid. It is a beautiful, living artifact from a day that will long endure in Old West history, available to the collecting public at Rock Island Auction Company.

Awesome production and narration of the Dalton story. Better than History Channel. You should do full blown documentaries.
Much obliged. Glad you enjoyed. More on the way!
I Agree Joel is The Best 😀
Yep, thought the very same. DO IT !!
That lightning blue sheen on the trigger and screws is unparalleled style. Exquisitely done by the original maker, and exquisitely cared for ever since.
Great narration of an incredibly important piece of American old west history.
The photography, the story, the presentation - all world class and worthy of this very special Peacemaker
Always my favorite old West story, and I really don't believe I've ever heard it told better. Man, what a find that revolver was!
A masterful storytelling. Thanks Joel.
I lived in Coffeyville Kansas for ten years and know exactly where the Condon Bank building is. It is located in the Union Street Plaza just to the west of Isham's Hardware, which the hardware store is still in operation today. The bank sits on the east side of Walnut between 8th and 9th streets. The Dalton Defenders Museum sits on the southwest corner of 8th and Patterson. The alley where the old city jail is sits between 8th and 9th Streets about 200 feet to the west of the Condon Bank building sits.
Downtown Coffeyville sits northwest of the US-169/US-166 junction approximately 2.5 miles north of the Kansas/Oklahoma state line. The Verdigris River which is the beginning of the McClellan-Kerr Navigation System near the Port of Catoosa northeast of Tulsa Oklahoma runs on the towns east side. The Dalton Defender Days celebration is held every fall around October, and there is a reenactment of the robbery. There is a car show on 9th Street, food and merchandise vendors.
Thanks for bringing some of the pages of my late Father's books to life, he would have loved this!
Old comment I know. But would you mind telling the title and a bit about your Dad's book? It sounds pretty good.
@@13lochie My Father had a lot of books about firearms but sadly like him, most of them are long gone. The ones I remember from my distant childhood are, 'The Album of Gunfighters' which was full of pictures and descriptions of various outlaws and lawmakers, also 'The Textbook of Automatic Pistols' by Wilson, this book was full of information and dull black and white photos of guns that I never thought I'd see - Until I found channels like this one or 'Forgotten Weapons'. Thanks for asking.
@@cstoff6066 No worries at all. Thank you for replying. I'll make a note to have a look at them they seem like good reads. It must be kind of bitter sweet to have those momentos from your dad's life I imagine.
Now that's how you sell an item. Great presentation.
This channel is underrated
Thank you.
Why am I just now seeing this? Fantastic history!
Thank you! I'm gonna have to watch this a few times. Such a great job! 👍👍
Great story telling .Need more of this.
Great stuff! Awesome story telling. Much Love!!
That was brilliant. Loved every minute of it
What a Story You Have a Way With Words Joel Great Video and Excellent History of That Beautiful Colt 😮😀😊
Well done Sir!
Thank you.
Thank you👍💖
My family is in possession of a peacemaker that has been passed down generations in my family. On my grandmother Hazel's side of the family was supposedly related to the Dalton Gang. We have no paperwork on it but the family lore us it belonged to Bob Bob Dalton.
This is amazing story telling!
Excellent telling of history.
A beautiful weapon and a part of history as well. It must be very valuable.
Well told. Thanks.
Excellent revolver and presentation.
Bravo...Excellent. ..informative production...
Very informative and well said
You told that really well, very very gripping .
I'm so glad I never have to live through that !
I'd be even less happy to NOT have lived through that.
My Mother always said that we're related to the Dalton Gang. I would love to know for sure.
Every since Eagles classic album " Desperado" I've been obsessed with " dalton gang" .The infamous coffeeville double_ bank job was in fact only there FIRST attempt at robbing a bank.Before they did all there robberies on trains.The book " the Dalton boys by David allin goes into great detail of there life ( and deaths) .
There best album Geoff
Great video!
Godammit that last part brought tears to my eyes! ...
RIA your video's are getting better an better... THANK's!
These stories give me goosebumps
I've only heard of this because of the eagles.
There was a guy on the Colt forums that swore up and down he had one of Daltons guns.
Maybe. The serial numbers of the 10 guns are known, but their locations are not. They're out there somewhere!
The Eagles made an album about the Dalton gang and this raid , it's called Desperado if you get the chance to listen to it it is well worth it
@Moet Sippin if you read my post properly ,you would see that I said the Album is called Desperado
I love this video
My family lived in Coffeyville from approximately 1867 thru 1929. My Great Uncle Arthur died there in 1905.
Very well done
Epic!!
My grandmother was Alice Jean Dalton born in 1890 she was a third cousin to the Daltons. She of course never knew any of them from the outlaw gang except Bob she met many years later.
Very good presentation. They failed to understand that the old west and the rule of the gun was coming to an end. Their time was up.
Well done.
WOW!! If only!
A little history some where in a small califorina town the Daltons the James Youngers and DoolinS all lived on the same street. Robert Dalton Dont ask history will never know were the boys are?
If I had Won the lottery. It would be mine!!!I just wish I could get a dvd of the movie. I remember it as a kid👌🏻
Interesting
A wish to the winner, please consider loaning this piece of history to the Dalton Defender and Coffeyville History Museum.
It was there from around 1960-1991. I bet they'd find room for it again. 🙂
I went to Coffeeville just to see where this shootout took place. It was zero degrees outside.
Emmett....its no use...momma take these guns from me. I can't use them anymore. That dark cloud is rolling in...
Dylan not Guns & Butter
Emmet Would later write a book about the gang and even acted in some silent hollywood westerns.
How much did it sell for at the auction?
The holy grail of colts!!
Damn. I've never heard this whole story before, theres got to be a movie about this right?
Just one more score Arthur...
immediately subscribed so! so how much for the Colt?
Thanks for subscribing! It sold for $345,000!
@@RockIslandAuctionCompany oh wow, lucky man/woman!
I wanted to hear about this pistol
Hmmm. Let me just put that on my VISA...
It seems like just about every outlaw or lawman in the old west had engraved guns. Just curious because I thought they had to be ordered and were more expensive.
You are correct on both counts. This Colt was one of ten identical Colt SAA revolvers shipped from Colt on 8/18/1892 to Simmons Hardware in St. Louis. This is one of the ten serial numbers listed in that shipment.
The factory letter doesn't list the sale price, but Colt would've certainly charged extra for these fancy revolvers. The Daltons are said to have ordered them because they wanted to make a splash - fancy revolvers and a double bank robbery was their idea for obtaining their desired notoriety.
In the early 60's gamblin guns were serious business . the first time i witnessed such a game there was no laughing and teasin but that was another time in brownwood Texas
This sounds interesting what else happened?
Iron man whiskey was sold by the railroad tracks at the old aswell as two feathers .the bar is closed now but was very popular in the 60s and 70s . Which was bodidles and timbers beer joints across from each other's
Once there was bear wrestling At bodidles . Gas was cheep woman were plenty and the cars were hot
@@tasmaniandevil7610 thank you for sharing!
What did it sell for ?
What happened to the other 4 colts...???
If I recall correctly from other retellings, none of the gang ever fired their revolvers during the fight. They were found on their bodies, fully loaded.
I have heard that only the Winchester rifles were fired by the Daltons and their pistols were never drawn. Can anyone confirm this?
Old Coffeyville....weinbergs western wear was the best
Great story, curious if that was actually a Dalton gun and fully ingraved by the manufacturer why is the date 1975 ingraved in it
Those dates are not 1975,it is the patent dates, Sept.19,1871, July2,1872 and Jan 19,1875.
Thank you for the clarification, as siad before great story and a great peice of history
1823 bullets. Thats a lot.
You can hear the bullets hit HARD in this epic And euphoric Narration, Billy the kid us to hide out with my Ancestors in PDL Purta de Luna ten miles from Santa Rosa N.M. where the best green Chili in the USA is grown and owned by my Best friend , The Chavez family, etched in american history, only reason I say is my years are short, the kids of the Hidden lake Cliffs, raised with the petroglyphs, my friends & family....& PALS t.
Bad day for the Dalton desperados.
I believe in leaving it to the writers I believe you're wrong about the party of rip he may leave but it'll be in a much more creative way and unexpected to boot.
Wonder how much it sold for?
It sold for $345,000!
Better times
Vanity wasn't his undoing. Robbing a bank wearing a bad disguise, in a town where he was known was his undoing.
He would have been undone even if he hadn't been trying to outdo the James/Younger gang and had been trying to rob a single bank instead.
Bob dalton shot 4 townspeople which at first makes him the best gun handler of the daltons and he may have been. The big difference is his brothers were carrying money. There was some reason they chose bob.B9b killed 2 lawmen and 2 townspeople all armed.
They were getting bread for their children.
I see what you did there. 🤣🤣🤣👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Makes one wonder where the rest of them are.
Four men…all dressed the same…all with the same beard disguises. That would get anyone’s attention. Not too swift, Bob. Apparently, Grat couldn’t read a clock and was too dense to try the vault door.🤦🏻♀️
WTF, no, How the F, do you spend 19K is those days?
A map would have helped the narrative.
I call foul only because Ian didn’t tell the story. Otherwise nice take of justice.
Need to ask a question of all you American history buffs....I have seen such TV shows like little house on the prairie and it seems like most folk have never actually seen a $note most things in stores cost a few cents so tell me WHAT the heck did these bank robbers do with all that money seems like you could of bought everything buyable with that much money???
Fancy engraved colts weren't much help
Well, so much for out-doing the James gang, eh?
I'll offer you $100. Well, it's pre-owned and really old.
I have two colts with numbers, not too far off from these
