This video from Brownells Gun Tech explores a Colt 1851 Navy revolver attributed to the legendary Wild Bill Hickok. Presented by Keith Ford and featuring insights from Joel Colander of Rock Island Auction Co., the video discusses the gun's provenance, including its connection to the Buffalo Bill Museum and historical research by Hickok historian Joseph Rosa. Factors like matching serial numbers, ivory grips, and historical accounts support the attribution, despite the gun not being in mint condition. The video highlights its condition, including holster wear and well-preserved engraving and grips, and touches upon its sale for a surprisingly low price after Hickok's death.
