I have handled a REAL Walker....... when I was around 18-19 years old, 1964-65ish. There was a local gun shop that had a LOT of old original
Colt's and other firearms; handguns, rifles and shotguns. I bought a pre 94 Winchester, a Model 12 Winchester 12 ga, a Colt .22 Nickel Frontier Scout w/dual cyl., all these when I was 18 and 19 years old, and later a New Ruger 3 screw Super Blackhawk .44 mag, and a 2nd gen Colt 1851 Navy, a High Standard Griswold and Gunnison(still have the Ruger and 1851 and High Standard). All these over a number of years before he sold out and retired. But I did infact handle the Walker, it was NOT FOR SALE. He also had a 1 OF 1000 Winchester '73 not for sale also. I know his grandson who is an attorney and he still has the Walker and the Winchester along with some other collector Colt's.
