FINE STARR DOUBLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 21997, with matching numbers on the bbl, hammer and upper frame. 44 Cal. 6” rnd bbl. Standard one-line address on left side of frame. Patent marking on right side. The Starr action is unusual and many people, including collectors, do not understand how to work it. When operated in single action, the sliding bar on the rear of the trigger is placed in its lower position. When the trigger is pulled, the bar stops its travel after the hammer has been cocked, but before it can reach the sear. The sear, which is mounted on the triggerguard behind the trigger, can then be pulled to fire the gun. For dbl action operation, the sliding bar is placed in the upper position. There is a hole in the triggerguard that the bar can go into and a pull on the trigger continues past the cocking point and the trigger hits the sear, firing the gun. CONDITION: Fine. 80% blue overall with light spots at the rear of the frame and grip straps. Casehardening colors are bright on the loading lever and hammer. Grips are smooth. A hairline crack on the left side of the grip. Mechanically fine. 4-59247 FS744 (2,250-3,500)
