Pawn Stars would have offered $1,500 and 3 min of TV time.

I wonder if the .32 Browning Automatic which sparked WWI, is still around?

It would have to be pretty valuable.

Wow, I didn’t even realize the Colt company existed in 1836. I had assumed more like from the second half of the nineteenth century.

I believe an original, single remaining Luger 1907 .45 ACP holds the actual record for the highest sale price at a cool $1,000,000. And that was back in '89!

Million Dollar Luger

That gun looks like it was made yesterday! The neatest Colt that I ever had the privilege to handle was one of the two original Colt Walker pistols that belonged to Walker himself. Both of his pistols were displayed in a custom case at a gun show a few years ago. After the owner had pulled one from the case for photographs, I said, “While you have that out of the case, could I examine it?” To my pleasant surprise, he agreed. There was history in my hand! Walker received his pistols in Mexico only days before he was killed. The guns were recovered and had been in the Walker family for over a century before being sold separately over the years [much to the sorrow of some Walker descendants that I met!]. The current owner finally managed to buy both and reunite them.
