Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and left front web of trigger guard is marked “45 CAL”. Screws are blued and it has an orig early base pin with dimpled ends. Mounted with early 2-pc rampant Colt & eagle hard rubber grips with matching last 4 digits of SN scratched on the inside of each. Factory letter states this gun was shipped to Simmons Hardware in St. Louis, MO August 23, 1890. It is interesting that this serial range actually makes manufacture about 1884. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very good overall. All matching though bbl could not be inspected as ejector housing was so tightly fit to inspect for SN on bbl. Bbl and ejector housing retain about 95% nickel plating; frame retains about 40% orig nickel; backstrap retains most of its orig nickel on back but butt only has traces; trigger guard retains about 20% orig finish especially in protected areas; cyl retains about 40% orig nickel with balance plum with staining and pitting; grips are sound and solid showing light wear to high points and edges. Mechanics are fine, crisp, dark bore with good rifling. 4-50565 JS189 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1241
