The market for older Colt revolvers has been flat for several years now. I see the same dealers with the same Colt percussion and SAAs at gun show after gun show. What has gone up in value/price recently that I've noticed are Colts in two different categories:
1. Older Colt autos: Prices have risen across the board especially for those examples in very good to excellent condition. This is not just confined to 45 autos but has affected other models like 1903s as well.
2. Out of production newer Colt DA revolvers. I think everyone came to the realization that Pythons,Diamondbacks,Cobras etc. were out of production for good. There's no way Colt could begin producing these models again with the hand finishing required and be able to market them at an affordable price.
Anyway that's my take.
