"Hey, it's a Browning." Is Colt anywhere close to Browning in that regard?

Sorry Hawk, I should have been more clear.
Is there any mystique to Cold like there is to Browning?
I'll make a wild guess, some colt handguns?

Go price some Colt Python revolvers and you'll learn all about "mystique."

Colt and Browning are both known for producing quality firearms.

I've never thought about the Colt revolving rifles, I'll think they are over the moon?

Colt and Browning are both known for producing quality firearms. True, but there's also a mystique to the names, because of their venerable history in the US gun market.

Each persons interest. Mine is prewar Colt double actions. Not really a SAA fan. You want a Woodsman. If you can scratch the itch, do so

I meant they have more mystique and history surrounding them than any other maker. They tamed the west, carried by storied outlaws and law men alike. Played large roles in every war we’ve fought, carried by legendary cops and legendary bank robbers.

Some Colts have the quality or history/mystique to command high prices.
Others sell for way above their worth simply because there's a prancing pony stamped on it.
Then there's the discontinued thing, that usually drives up desirability & Colt has, at one time or another, discontinued just about everything they ever made.
