Dear Diana,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a Colt Model 1860 44caliber revolver. It has serial number 87936 and was made in the year 1864. Colts like this which were produced and used during the Civil War period are often offered and sold in the auction market to prices between 2.000 and 3.000 USD
This piece is in medium condition but there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 1.200 to 2.400 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
