BEN: Hey, how you doing? RICK HARRISON: Pretty good. What do we got here? I have a pair of 1860
Colt Army revolvers. Where in the world
did you get these? I actually just
moved to Vegas, and I found them in my garage. It's a hell of a find. [LAUGHS] [REVOLVER CYLINDER SPINNING] BEN: We were cleaning
out the garage, we found this wooden case. And in the wooden case
was the revolvers. I'm hoping to get $20,000
for the guns today. I just don't have
any use for them, and they're just
collecting dust. So hopefully, I can
make some money on them. [MUSIC PLAYING] RICK HARRISON: They're
beautiful guns. Basically what they are is
Civil War army-issue Colts. This is one of the reasons why
the North won in the Civil War. They were just better armed, and
the Colt Army was, I would say, the best pistol out there
during the Civil War. This was so high
tech at the time. You can actually shoot six
shots within a few seconds. [GUN SHOTS] Samuel Colt had been working
on perfecting the revolver since the 1830s, and by
the time of the Civil War, he hit it big with
the Colt Army. It was precision engineered,
quick, and reliable. Some of the engraving back
then was just amazing. It really was. And this wasn't machine-done. That was all hand-done. These were craftsmen. You had to be great at
engraving to work for Colt. So how much do
you want for them? 20,000? [DRAMATIC MUSIC] [EXHALES SHARPLY] Do you
know how much a pair off 1860 Colt's factory-grade
pistols are worth, a pair a pair of them? BEN: No, I didn't. [MUSIC PLAYING] Over $100,000. [DRAMATIC MUSIC] RICK HARRISON: A guy
came in with some Civil War era engraved revolvers. If these things were
engraved by the Colt factory, they could be worth
over 100 grand. [MUSIC PLAYING] [EXHALES SHARPLY] [MUSIC PLAYING] These are real-deal Colts,
and they're fully engraved. But-- so you have this serial
number, which is 98,000, and this serial number, 144,000. There's a 50,000-gun
difference here. BEN: Right. RICK HARRISON: They
would've pulled these right off the assembly
line, either right next to each other or
real close to each other. The serial number wouldn't
be off by more than 20 to 30 numbers. And also, we're
talking the 1860s. Guys didn't like
flowers on their guns. BEN: Right. RICK HARRISON: What I believe
we have here is some guy-- I don't know how long
ago-- but he basically took some guns that were
pretty beat up, I imagine, and he spent a gazillion
dollars' worth of work on them. He did make them worth more. But they're not
factory engraved. [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] [SIGHS] We're nowhere
near the six figures they would go for if they
were factory engraved, but these Colts are a
very attractive pair. And Colts are as
collectible as they come. RICHARD HARRISON: All
said and done, son, what are we going to pay for them? 3,500? They just seem like
they're in great condition. They're over 100
years old, and I've never seen anything like them. How about 6,000? RICK HARRISON: I
really wish you had a sea battle scene or an army
scene engraved on the cylinder. Will you take four grand? How about 5,500? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] I'll tell you what,
I'll give you five grand. I think that's a
fair, fair price. Can you get him to offer more? I was thinking 45, son. It's what sounds good to me. I can't go up to five. RICK HARRISON: Well, I've
already offered him that, Dad. Yeah, I know. That's you, not me. Yeah, five grand's it. Five grand is it. [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] I'll do the five. RICK HARRISON: All right. Thank you. And we'll write
these things up. BEN: I'm not really
into guns, and I'm walking out with $5,000. And I'm going to go buy
me a new motorcycle. [MUSIC PLAYING]
