Custer 3rd gen cap n ball
LonesomePigeon:
Is this the one that is silver plated, fully engraved and has rosewood grips with an eagle carving? Those usually sell for around $1000 when "new in box". I do believe these are hand engraved. If in good working order I think $475 would be a great buy if you want it as a shooter.
middletownbob:
yes LonesomePigeon you are correct and thats what i think, going to look at it at my LGS after Easter but it is Silver plated, engraved with the grips you describe, and i'm looking for a shooter....I should be able to go to 450 or maybe 425...Bob
Abilene:
Heck, if it is silver plated and hand engraved, I would buy it for that price even though I don't shoot cap'n'ball!
If it is laser engraved and silver plated, it might still be worth it but I would have to see it in person. I've seen a number of silver plated laser engraved Ubertis that looked like crap.

My Good Bob
I agree with Major and Abilene....
Prof Marvel looked into his krystal ball and read your mind, in order to find these images:

note that the Cowans auction says "action does not function". I myself got several Uberti Colts
cheap that way from pawn shops because the wedge was driven so deep the hamme would not cock, LOL.
Fixed it in 5 minutes when I got home.
Not sure what finish was actually applied. One site says "pewter", no one seems to mention silver plate.
Since these were hand engraved, I would be inclined to go for it at the best price the guy would do.

Major 2:
I had in my mind, you were looking at one of these ...and as such I stand by my original post.
on the other hand if its engraved with carved grips that the good Prof. has posted , then its some unique :-\
