FINE COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

SN 114028. Cal. 45 Colt. Blue & color case hardened with 7-1/2″ bbl, full front sight & 1-line block letter address. Left side of frame is marked with 3-line patent dates and “U.S”. Mounted with oil finish, 1-pc walnut grip that has the oval “FH” (Capt. Frank Heath) inspector cartouche under the date 1884 on the left side and the “DFC” (David F. Clark) sub-inspector cartouche on the right side with last 4 digits of matching SN in backstrap channel. Top left side of the grip is marked with the number “272” and bottom edges are each marked with the number “8”. The “DFC” initials are also found on the frame adjacent to the SN, bottom of bbl & cyl. Trigger guard & buttstrap are marked with the mystery “G” initial. Ejector housing is 2nd Type with bullseye ejector rod head and base pin is without dimpled ends. This revolver was part of the 9th contract for 2,000 revolvers produced August 1884 to January 1885 and was produced in 1884.

Bbl retains about 70% glossy orig blue with the loss areas light grey patina. Frame retains about 80% strong case colors, bright in sheltered areas, faded on top strap with some age spotting. Hammer retains most of its orig case colors, moderately faded, turning silver on top edge. Cyl retains 70-75% blue, strong & bright in the flutes, thinning on the outer diameter with one area of very fine pitting. Trigger guard & front strap retain about 85% orig blue with some fine aging on the frontstrap and trigger bow. Backstrap & buttstrap retain about 60% orig blue with scattered light rust & freckling. Grip has chipped right toe with some fine nicks and a couple of bruises and overall retains most of its orig oil finish. Mechanics are fine. Bright shiny bore with some scattered roughness. 50140-2 JS202 (25,000-35,000) – Lot 2070
