Dear Fred,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a Colt Model 1878 Frontier six shooter double action revolver. The serial number 28486 dates this revolver to the year 1891.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece and the blue finish are in medium to good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 750 to 1.500 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
