ANTIQUE COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

SN 130371. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Usual configuration with 7-1/2″ bbl, slightly thinned front sight and 1-line block letter address with “COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER” etched panel on left side. Bottom of bbl is marked with a tiny “44”. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and it is mounted with replacement Rampant Colt/eagle hard rubber grips. Inside left grip is hand scratched “W.B. McGEHEE, NOV. 4, 1893.” and the serial number “24988”. It is very obvious that this revolver saw lots of hard service with very little maintenance, probably with a cowboy or at least someone who spent the majority of their time outdoors in the weather.

Bbl retains strong blue around the ejector housing with traces of blue in sheltered areas, elsewhere being mostly a mottled blue/brown patina; etched panel is faint but completely legible; frame shows fine pitting with an artificially aged patina; cyl shows heavy wear with matching patina; hammer is also matching patina; trigger guard and backstrap retain blue in sheltered areas being mostly a blue/brown patina; grips have a repaired break in each side and show heavy wear; hammer is not solid in safety or half cock notches, otherwise mechanics are fine; strong bright bore with a few scattered spots of pitting. 4-50563 JR415 (1,500-2,500) – Lot 1257
