I asked the seller to withdraw my bid on this item, and it was ok by him.

I believe it might be a post 1870 fabrication.. Any gun produced after that year, needs a license here in Norway. And as you guys probably know, that's not so easy to obtain, even for an active shooter like me. I 'could' in theory get a license for it, but then I would have to document participation in shooting competitions including that particular calibre. Wich raises the question; 'do I feel comfortable shooting this old thing?' Nah.. I rather not..
Sounds silly perhaps, but I don't want to risk owning a possibly post 1870 made firearm without a license, even if it's a pre 1870 model. These things are strict 'over here'.. so I don't want to be in any gray area concerning this.
Still not given up my dream of finding an original pre 1870 Colt to hang on the wall, it was just not this one
