Please Note: This lot is accompanied by a Colt factory letter which identifies this revolver as it is found here, shipped to “P.S. Newton” probably in April 1861, address unknown. The early fluted Armys that letter are scarce!

FINE COLT MODEL 1860 FLUTED ARMY REVOLVER.

SN 4762. Cal. 44. This early 1861 manufactured 4-screw fluted army revolver that retains good orig finish and appears much better than most guns in this serial range that generally saw hard Civil War service. Many of these guns were shipped South and possibly more research through Colt records might ascertain where this gun was shipped. SN 4762 matches throughout though wedge and cyl are not serialized. Cyl does retain its safety pins though three of them have been fairly well smashed. Cyl is correctly marked in one flute “PATENTED SEPT. 10 1850″. PROVENANCE: Collection of Charles A. Lamb. CONDITION: Gun is overall very good to fine with good crisp marking including the bbl address, patent markings on frame and cyl and SNs. Bbl retains 10%+ orig bright finish especially in protected areas with balance plum/brown with staining and pitting. Backstrap has strong traces of finish on top where attached to frame and on bottom of butt. Cyl is plum/brown overall with strong traces of blue in protected areas. Frame and hammer exhibit 20-30% muted case colors with balance gray/brown with staining and pitting. Stocks are sound and solid with oiled finish with scattered dings and dents especially in butt where gun apparently was used as tack hammer. 4-51848 JS132 (4,000-7,000) – Lot 2199
