Condition Report
All of the revolvers are of the single-action type and they all cock and release on the trigger but some actions are a little stiff and probably need some oil: the colt automatic also cocks and releases as it should.
One of the revolvers has damage to the faux ivory grip boards one side is completely missing and the other is in bits but the frame and action remain undamaged.
One of the pistols shows verdigris on the barrel and top of the cylinder frame.
The others are free from verdigris but some that are nickel plated are dull and could probably do with a slight polish
The boxed Buffalo Bill 1849 Revolver shows some blemishes to the swivel rammer body and a small patch on the underside of the barrel where the rammer lever seats when clipped up. I have tried to clean this off gently with a cloth but it remains.
Please see the images supplied for clarification.
The grips other than the one indicated as being damaged/partially missing are in good order.
Some discolouration can be seen on the cylinder frames of a few of the revolvers but I think this is in an effort to simulate oil heat treatment that would have been present on the actual real weapons of the date.
There are two boxed pistols that are visible in the images all others are unboxed
