Real Texas Shootout Colt 45 1896.

Butt of grips marked: Wm. Price, with an "X" opposite his name. He was better known as "TUBBY PRICE. The "X" standing for the man he shot with this Colt. Documented!

The Colt SAA .45 today, Serial No. 16757X, is in a pleasing state of a dark patina. There are glimmers of the once blue finish in protected areas, but it is a patina Colt. The hard rubber grips show extensive hand wear, and the checkering has softened. Mechanically, it is a PERFECT revolver. It cocks, locks, indexes, each and every time the hammer is drawn to the rear. It is a genuine south east Texas Colt, and was definitely fired in anger, to resolve a dispute. It appears in the archival information, one William Price, known as "Tubby" Price, warned a neighbor to stay away from his Levee , holding water. The letter states it so simply, "he said he would shoot him, and he did" He shot him in the leg, which was followed by the ensuing investigation etc.. In the original documents, there is a photograph of Tubby, in later years, when he entered a "Whisker" growing contest. A colorful Texas Colt.  PRICE 7,500.
