FACTORY ENGRAVED EARLY COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

FACTORY ENGRAVED EARLY COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. Cal. 45 Colt. SN 48207. Extremely early engraved Colt with 4-13/16″ bbl, relocated modified front sight with rampant colt hard rubber grips. This revolver is sparsely engraved in very early style with about “D” coverage of scattered light arabesque patterns. It has a second type ejector rod housing that has been reduced to 3-3/4″ from the orig 4″ and has a replaced screw. The threaded hole extends into the bore and the orig ejector housing screw was apparently bushed at one time which is now gone leaving a second larger hole close to the muzzle. The current ejector rod housing is one of the rare serial numbered variety that has the number 14 near the hole. Accompanied by a Colt factory letter identifying this revolver, bbl length not listed, with nickel finish, pearl grips & factory engraving. It was shipped June 25, 1878 to B. Kittredge & Company Cincinnati, Ohio in a shipment of six same type guns. CONDITION: Fair. No orig finish remains, being very worn and cleaned with thin engraving patters and retaining a cleaned gray patina with very fine surface pitting. The base pin screw is a replacement and the other screws are battered. Grips, not orig to this revolver, are worn nearly completely smooth and have a repaired crack in the right side. The hammer will not hold in the safety notch or at half cock, otherwise mechanics are fine. Worn dark bore with good rifling. Note: This revolver is unsafe to fire. In this cataloguer’s opinion to do so would blow the ejector rod housing off the bbl and endanger the shooter. 4-57759 JR333 (2,000-3,000)
