*COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

SN 234871. Cal. 45 Colt. Usual configuration with 4-3/4″ bbl, full front sight and 2-line address with cal marking on left side. Left side of frame has 2-line 3 patent dates and Rampant Colt in a circle. Mounted with extraordinary 2-pc pearl grips with deep relief carved ox head on right side. Grips are probably old replacements. This revolver was produced in about 1902 when such sidearms were a daily used tool, especially by law enforcement, outlaws and the great American cowboy. They usually saw very hard service under harsh circumstances with little maintenance. CONDITION: Very good. Traces of finish remain on the bbl with faint case colors in the front gullets of the frame. Trigger guard and backstrap also retain traces of blue with the overall effect of a cleaned gray metal patina. Cyl retains thin blue patina on the outer diameter with strong blue in the flutes. Right grip has a chipped toe and left grip is missing a sliver at the frame, otherwise grips are sound, showing great fire. Mechanics are fine. Bright shiny bore. 4-51977 JR178 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 3132
