Rock Island Auction Company is excited and proud to present this astonishing revolver, it’s extraordinary pedigree, documentation, its beauty and condition, mate to Serial No. 147311, the Bob Dalton Colt Single Action Army.
The Dalton Gang is now considered the last of the great frontier outlaw gangs that stalked the lawless American West. According to Emmett Dalton, the raid on Coffeyville and its audacious simultaneous two bank hold up was Bob Dalton’s attempt to one-up the reputation of Jesse James and the James & Younger gang. Having this sense of history as part of their grand plan, specially engraved revolvers were purchased by the Dalton Gang from the Colt factory to not only outdo the James & Younger gang but to do so in flamboyant style.

After robbing the Longview bank what was left of the gang heading back to Oklahoma,
The Dalton Gang spent the night in the Argo Church in Argo TX. This is a fact. This was what was told to my dad by his Grandmother who went to church there. They found bloody rags there in the church.
The gang traveled the Murphy and zealith trail on white oak creek up to Rock crossing on Sulphur River.
This are so historical love anything to do with the Wild West ther rigs hats it’s all really cool to me how beatiful that they made things back in the day I alway loved the white peal handles I got a iPhone and it looks like the white peal so I had to have it it has such a beautiful look to me it’s like a wrangler shirt if it don’t have white peal snaps I don’t want it I love them handles if I was born in cowboy days I would have me a pair of these guns with peal handles I just love that look and the engraving I wear cowboy boots with one toe cap that is engraved it’s just so cool looking wish I was born in them days in a way the guns are art to me I think that they should be in museums pieces like this so people can see them and enjoy them I can’t believe for the time that they were made how beautiful they look
Wow what history, does anyone know how much they fetched? Stefan, Australia….
Shitty thing is those guns were stolen from us
My family on my mothers side resides from the Tulsa, OK., and Coffeyville, KS., area. I have heard countless stories from Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents, etc., about the Dalton gang and how some of our family was involved in the shootout at the banks. Visited the old museum and the grave site many times. I’m sorry to see that they auctioned off the guns that were kept in the museum but, if you need cash fast you do what you have to. By the way, the stories about a ‘hidden treasure’ buried by the Dalton gang in the Coffeyville area are false.
I wonder how to you preserve firearms from rust and corrosion?

We had the guns in our family for a long time just to be told they were stole. And sold

Typically with a lite coat of oil on the metal parts or grease for long term storage. A good wax can be used on the wood stocks.
