*COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH ORIGINAL BOX.SN 356725. Cal. 32 WCF (32-20). Blue & color case hardened with 4-3/4″ bbl, full thick front sight with 2-line address and caliber marking on left side. Left side of frame has 2-line 3-patent dates and Rampant Colt. Mounted with Rampant Colt hard rubber grips, matching numbered to this revolver. SN was observed on bottom of frame & right sides of front & back straps under the grip. Rear face of cyl has last three digits of SN “255”. Accompanied by its orig, hinged lid, dark burgundy cardboard box with black & white end label. Inside the lid is the notation “A Pair of Colts, Art”. That might explain the mismatched cylinder. If there originally was a pair, the cylinders could easily have become switched. This is one of the last pre-war Single Actions produced, certainly within the last 1,000. SN 357859 is believed to be the final SN assigned to a pre-war Single Action revolver and about 300 of the last 1,000 were assembled after the war using these pre-war parts. PROVENANCE: Robert H. Haskell, III Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine plus. Revolver retains about 99% crisp orig factory finish with brilliant blues and unusually dark case colors that are not faded. Grips are crisp, turning a little chocolate. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, appears to be unfired. Box has one taped corner, otherwise is sound showing a little edge wear and a repair on one end of the top. 4-50236 JR209 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1355
