  15. You might want to contact Steve Heller of Heller's Civil War Antiques in PA. He has a website & was very helpful in authenticating a civil war buckle for me. Good luck!
  16. Chrisnp I shared your concern over the buckle so forwarded the information and photos to Steve Heller of Heller's Civil War Antiques in PA who authenticated it as genuine. A great sense of relief!
  17. You are most likely right since further research on my part indicates that I was confused by information which has since been proved to be incorrect. Here is what I subsequently discovered; " When Joh...
  18. I was going on the serial number & information that indicated that models could be differentiated by odd/even numbers. I guess the history, when received from Colt, will confirm. Thank you for the in...

  32. Very nice!
  33. Sounds like your dad has had a true life long love affair with this car. I can understand why he would want to leave you, his son, his most precious possession. I hope you find a way to hold on to ...

  36. Thank you for looking Manikin & SEAN.
  37. Wonderful piece. Reminded me of the Pawn Stars episode when the woman brought in a spider piece of jewelry she had inherited & that had been in her dresser for years. She hated it because it was a sp...

  47. Great piece! Painting is wonderful, but I am particularly drawn to the ornate frame. I wouldn't put it on the moving van.
