Gold Rush Prices

According to the book Revolver; Sam Colt and the Six-Shooter That Changed America, a Colt revolver that sold for $38 in New York in 1849 sold for up to $500 in California.

Today, that would be equivalent to $1,160 (not far off from today's MSRP) and $15,300. That would get you three Korth revolvers.
