It is advertised at the lowest price I will take. I have a Cody Letter that shows the manufacture date as Feb. 1901. Serial #106354. The caliber is 32-40. Octagon barrel is 26". Wood is nice, has some small compression dents and scratches. Rear stock has 2 very small spots smaller than a tack head where some top surface wood splintered off. Fore end has 1 very small spot smaller than a tack head where top surface wood splintered off and also has a 5" long thin tight crack. Bluing probably isn't original but is nice. It's wearing a little thin on the fore-end cap. Metal has some small scratches here and there. The lever plate shows some evidence that there may have been some very light surface rust present at one time. All the rest of the metal is in terrific shape. As I can prove in numerous photos that I will provide to SERIOUS buyers, the gun shows well. The action works fine but due to some replacement parts feels just slightly stiff. The only other flaw is that in the bore, a few inches from the muzzle, there is a small corrosion ring that I have had inspected by a reputable and competent gunsmith. He deemed the firearm safe to shoot and suggested re-inspection every 500 rounds. Being a collector's gun, and ammo at $5 a round, I don't think that is going to be a problem. I've put 25 rounds through it myself. The rest of the bore is frosty, but still shows good grooving. It's a pretty decent looking operational old cowboy gun for its age, and I have priced it proportionally to both the good and the flaws. If this were in an online auction it would probably go close to $1600 and the buyer would just have to take his chances. With me, I'm upfront on things, and only expect a fair price, which I am sure you will find to be a little on the low side. I can provide a video clip of the gun in operation. I am not a dealer. I am a private individual selling this firearm from my personal collection. Cash only for Local sale. For Local sale I will only sell to anyone who is verified to purchase a firearm so I would need to see either a FFL, or NE Firearm Purchase Certificate, and ID, just like it's done at the Auctions/Shows. Concealed Carry Permit works as well. I will ship to an FFL if a legible copy is provided to me. Please ensure your FFL provider is accepting firearms for transfer from private individuals like me that don't have an FFL. After you do this, I will need contact info for your FFL so that I can work out the shipping details. If I'm shipping the firearm, payment is by Cashier''s check ONLY. Shipping is to only the lower 48 and is 70 dollars. The firearm will be intelligently packaged. Tracking will be provided.


FYI - I am gradually selling off my gun collection. It is fairly diverse. If there is something you are looking for, I might have it. Let me know and I will see what I can dig out of the safes.
