I know a guy named Othais that has something similar. He speaks highly of it.
umm - check the box Othais is carrying out of your facility :)
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!
Put your white gloves on , Spike.
You stated the Pistols were issued in pairs. You also stated that the respective companies were all issued 'their' pistols! Where did you get this?
Just because Walker wanted two issued per man, and just because the pistols were marked for A - E, this doesn t mean it happened. Most of the pistols never made it to their respective 'assigned' units. 500 never even made it to out of the ordnance depot (Co. B,D and E)! All of this information is c l e a r l y documented and easily available for basic research.
Same thing, there were more than '80 of the 1000' returned servicable.
Some were issued in pairs, particularly in Walkers Unit: C company. Not all of them were, and even the ones that were issued in pairs at first, were later separated and issued to separate soldiers. When the Civil War broke out most Walkers that were still around were captured and put into service by the Confederacy, and in particular mostly Confederate Mounted troops with a few infantry using them as an extra gun brought from home.
BBQ and parties no wonder Ian spend some much time there.
I know a guy called Othais too! He has a kebab shop lower old Kent road , London. He only has knives to cut the lamb!
Me..... Yup Yup Yup
Bank account.... NOPE 👎

You too? I thought that was just me.
Robert Scott I can only dream
Looks like you are nursing a Garand Thumb :-)
The provenance of this Colt Walker is exceptional and what was the hammer close at auction for the last military version of this incredible weapon???? I suspect north of $1 million!
RiA never ceases to amaze me with its incredible history of firearm presentation....truly a caliber all of its own...pun intended!
Who do not like well-told stories? This Colt Revolver from " The 2 Samuels" ( Colt and Walker, gun manufacturers whom worked together at some points to gain Government Armor Contracts ) , Delivered to the A-E Companies, where this object actually has the last Production number ( Nr: 120, the last piece of a batch of 120, which then totalled 1000 pieces to the A to E Companies )
Is it a problem to wear latex gloves when handling valuable things like this???
Yes, they make your hands sweat like crazy.
Only if you have a splint on one of your thumbs. :)

Was that a Garand related injury?
Out of my price range, but cool history. Belongs in a museum.
Pawn stars I’ll give you 5k$ and I’m taking all the risk
Why doesn't he say what Funk paid the farmer for the gun?? Bet he ripped him off.
So from 1972 to 1975 in 1 sale it almost double in price, bet he paid the farmer less than $12000, family kicking themselves now.
I m guess n around $2,000,000 (1.7 - 2.3).
Make sure that '8' on the barrel is 'upside down'.
What happened to the thumb?
Very informative. Thanks, I learned a lot about the Colt Walker.
The fact that someone would own any of these survivors is to me a treat. I don't have the means to own this piece of history but I would love to just hold it.
Is this intro one you made yourself, or is it something you can download somewhere?
😮😳😮😊😀👍🏼
I wonder if buying any of the Colt Walker’s from cimarron, or Taylor’s and Company are ever going to be worth any money down the road
what did it bring at auction?
I looked it up, 1, 035,000.00. Over 1 million dollars.
The Saint of Killer's gun.
The elderly many times have clear minds.
Why are all the collectors “gentlemen”
What did this Walker hammer at?
What a beauty can’t wait to get my reproduction from cimarron
