Buffalo Bill Colt -Help - 07/26/2013 10:49 PM
A friend of mine in Germany has a "Colt Buffalo William Bill Cody Colt Model 1849, Civil War in Box numbered 187228".
He purchased this approx. 6 years ago at that time it did fire but due to tough German laws he made it into a non-firing pistol.
At that time he thought he had purchased a one of a kind but now has doubts as he has seen a number for sale with the same serial number.
He would like to know who produced the revolver also was it a special production for some event and possibly how many were produced.
Any help would be appreciated.
