Colt 1849 pocket revolver .31
A fellow wants to include this as part of a trade however, I have no idea of current value.
Looks to have been shot minimally, with original box and owner's manual.
Originally purchased at a Gander Mt for $350 in 1994.
(unsure if this would actually have been manufactured by Uberti?)
5 shot with a 6" barrel.
Serial #s match.
Any info re: pricing/valuation as well as experience shooting this little gem appreciated.
I've never thought about owning a BP revolver before but this one does appeal to me.

My rule of thumb for valuing something like that is 2/3 of the cost (including tax) of a new one, if it's in like new shape. If you really want it there's nothing wrong with going above that.
