Cow Town revolvers include Dodge City, #490KD, gold-colored with imitation ivory grips; Abilene, #490KA, gold-colored with wood grips; Wichita, #490KW, gold-colored with imitation pearl grips; Coffeyville, #490KC, gold-colored with wood grips.

The entire set is stored in a black leather-covered box with silver commemorative Kansas Series markings; the front folds down and inside are three individual black leather-covered cases for each set of four revolvers. Each case with silver-colored commemorative markings that corresponds with the respective series; each tray features a different color lining. Each revolver includes its original Kansas Series Colt display box. Conditions of the revolvers range from excellent to near excellent, all appearing unfired, most with intermittent minor handling marks. The gold-colored revolvers in the Cow Town series show additional handling marks and micro scratching that is typical of bright gold surfaces. The main storage case shows signs of age and blemishes from storage; left side with scuffs and a few blisters to the leather cover; top shows some edgewear and a few small tears to the fabric; door and hinges remain secure. The leather-covered Cow Towns tray is excellent; Trails and Forts trays with a few blemishes to the lids. Interiors are excellent, with the exception of the fabric on the inside of the Fort case, as the gold-colored lining on the lid shows some wear. Individual wood boxes range from very good to excellent showing varying degrees of storage type wear. Est.: $5,500-$7,500/set. (C&R)(Sierra Sid's Casino, Sparks, NV)
