In the early - mid 80s, there was a bar/restaurant on Van Ness St at about Green St. in San Francisco. An 'upscale' meat market kind of place. Yuppie-ville.
The guy that owned it was a serious old west firearms collector. He had an amazing display of his items at the place. He had specially made built-in displays along several of the walls. Very high security. The displayed items changed as he wheeled and dealed for new items.

He had this pistol and holster w/cartridge belt and all of its provenance on display there for a year or so. He also had quite a few firearms of other noted Wild West characters.

Pretty cool stuff.

Bummer. I’m shoestring kin of Longabaugh/Sundance. I might go after his Colt.

Thank you for sharing. The video was very interesting. My hubby and I really enjoyed watching that. I hope we see an update after the auction.

This item is going to go very high. I expect a bidding war for this piece.
My prediction: $1.25M.

Bookmarked.

Is the gun functional. Will it still shoot?
Has anyone shot it recently? Just curious.
