1840s Colt auctions for $920,000

An anonymous bidder paid a record $920,000 for a historic .44-caliber revolver owned by a Libby man.

And the buyer got a bargain, said auctioneer James Julia.

The Colt Walker pistol made for U.S. marshals in the 1840s belonged to University of Maine graduate John McBride's great-great-uncle.

That must be one hell of a revolver.
