45 colt

I've seen a few different things on this. Is 45 colt different from 45 long colt? Some sites have those listed in different sections some don't. Also what about 45 Schofield. Any information on this would help.

Thanks,
Shane

    My mom would like to know what a 45 colt used in WW1 would be worth. My dad has passed away and she has no idea.

    My mother has inherited a colt 45 and I'm trying to learn more about it. She's had offers on it and we don't know it's value. It is good condition. On the gun is printed: PAT SEPT 1871 JULY 2 72 JAN 19 75. Serial number 137247. The barrel is 4 3/4 the finish is Colored Case/Blue. Any information on this gun and it's value would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm guessing that you have a pot metal reproduction (a toy).

    But, you will only get guesses here unless you post photos.

    The Japanese non-guns were made of zinc alloy, (pot metal). Put a magnet on the slide, if it doesn't stick you got one of them.

    Japan banned their manufacture in the 60's because they were way to close to the real thing. Because of this their value of gone up. You might get some fair money for it on the auction.
