It is easily my most prized possession. It has taken at least one deer per year, for many years. It gets the starting spot in the rotation.

Why is the finish mottled like that? I see a lot of old Colt SAA revolvers with lots of wear, but the wear pattern is usually fairly uniform all over the gun. Regardless, cool possession.

I see a lot of old Colt SAA revolvers with lots of wear, but the wear pattern is usually fairly uniform all over the gun. Regardless, cool possession. The finish would be described as "about 30% original nickel". The 60% that isn't nickel is where the nickel has flaked off of it. Old nickel plate wasn't usually that long-lived if it was used with black powder and that particular gun is well within the black powder era. If the nickel was all gone, many would call it a "nice, even patina". Others would say it's an old, brown gun. Anything beyond traces of original finish really adds dollars to old Colt single actions.

Only a 760 gets used, and I'm not a fan of them. But I'm attached to all those guns, just goofing around with them makes me feel good and reminds me of good times with their owners. Favorite is probably a 660 308. Brown Precision stock, done with my own three thumbs. 3x9 Vari-Xll in Talleys. Had it since I was 19, 32 years ago. Most lethal gun I own. Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

It was passed down to my father and then to me. I dont have any kids so it will go to one of my nephews some day. You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
