RARE COLT ARTILLERY MODEL SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

RARE COLT ARTILLERY MODEL SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 119046. Cal. 45 Colt. Usual configuration with bbl reduced to 5-1/2″ and the front sight relocated probably by Colt during one of the recall modifications. Bbl address is mostly legible. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and small “U.S.” and it is mounted with a 1-pc walnut grip that is too oil stained in the backstrap channel to discern numbers. Bottom of bbl, under the ejector rod housing, has the number “4819” along with “DFC” inspector initials. “DFC” initials are also on the bottom front of the frame with tiny “P” & “C” initials on the cylinder. The SNs on the frame, trigger guard and backstrap are all matching. Trigger and hammer spring are modern replacements. PROVENANCE: Col. Kenneth P.Brown Collection. CONDITION: Good to very good. Traces of orig finish remain in most sheltered areas and under the ejector rod housing with the balance a cleaned gray metal patina with scattered spots of light rust and some nicks and dings by left recoil shield. Cylinder appears to be an artificially aged patina with the “0” in the SN stamped over the “1” and the “6” double stamped. Grip has chipped toes and heel, shows heavy wear with a dark oil stained patina. Safety notch is broken away and hammer is not solid in half-cock notch, otherwise mechanics are fine. Strong bore with good rifling and light pitting. 4-39464 JR201 (2,500-4,000)
