RARE STARR DA ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER WITH COLOR CASE HARDENED FRAME.

RARE STARR DA ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER WITH COLOR CASE HARDENED FRAME. SN 13823. Cal. 44. Blue & color case hardened with 6″ rnd bbl, dovetailed front sight with rear sight in hammer nose. Left side of frame has the company name & address and right side patent date. Mounted with 1-pc walnut grip with legible cartouches on each side. As noted the entire frame is most unusually color case hardened with blued bbl, rammer, hammer, trigger & trigger guard. Cylinder is also very unusual, possibly a reproduction with rebated chambers and square shank nipples in larger recesses with large V-notch gas vents. Cylinder is without SN and appears to be of more recent manufacture. Frame pin has a fine straight knurled edge vs. the angle knurled edges on other known examples. Color case hardening on the frame appears to be all orig while the finish on all the blued parts is of more recent origin. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Bbl & cyl retain most of their custom high polish blue with a spot of flaking on left side of bbl. Rammer & trigger guard are a dull blue. Hammer has a bright fire blued nose with the balance dull blue. Frame retains virtually all of its orig case colors, moderately faded with some scattered spots of surface rust. Grip is missing a chip on left side at the frame, otherwise is sound showing moderate to heavy wear and retains a fine hand worn patina. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with good shine and moderate pitting. 4-42471 JR121 (2,000-3,000)
