Picked it up at a recent auction. She is a beauty. She's a little dirty right now, but I should have her cleaned up before I hit the range tomorrow. I am a total neophyte to revolvers, and this auction saw my first two bought. (I bought an Enfield Tanker as well). I have spent the last four days figuring out what ammo I "can" and "cannot" use as well.

Here are some specs on it I dug up:

Total length: 11.5 inches (292 mm)
Weight, empty 2.07 pounds (.94 kg)
Caliber .38 long Colt
Barrel length: 6 inches (152 mm)
Muzzle velocity 785 feet per second (239 meters per second)
Capacity 6 rounds

Good thing for me the estate also had .38 caliber ammo for sale too.

Here are some pics:

Anyone have an idea what these are worth? Serial # is in the 2XX,###'s. I have read this one is over 100 years old, but you'd never know by the condition.
 
Did you buy RELOADED AMMO with your .38?

Lovely looking Colt!

If it's the McSherry Auction, I unsuccessfully bid by proxy on a few things....

I've read posts that suggest some of the ammo was reloaded, and some CGN'rs commented they felt the reloads were 'scary'.

FWIW....
