I forgot to add, I've got the pistol he used, an 1851 Colt Navy revolver. I
know it's worth a lot of money, but it's not for sale.
A quote from an authorative website:
Today, the Colt 1851 Navy is a much sought-after revolver by collectors, and
prime examples demand princely sums. Anyone interested in purchasing one of
these historical Colts is urged to contact reputable dealers and read as many
books on the subject as possible. As Sam Colt urged: ?Be aware of frauds.?
