Don't you normally ask this
question BEFORE putting a gun
up for sale? [:)]

Miniatures are valued upon such things
as their exactness to detail, functionality,
and quality of workmanship. I THINK Colt
authorized Uberti to make some of these circa
the 1980's. If yours is a licensed Colt
product, even though not made by Colt,
that would be a plus as to value. How you tell
the difference I don't know, but I would
guess an authorized Colt copy would have
the correct "COLT PATENT" marking, barrel
address, etc.

I think your opening bid with no reserve is fair.

All i could find on markings are on the cylinder, WL Ormsby SK NY and USMR Colt Patent on it. I needed to sell it anyway, it was a friends and he needed to get some Christmas cash, so I bought it and some other items from him. What ever it brings is what it is, I just didnt know much about it. Thank you!
