DOUBLE CASED BRACE OF ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVERS.

SN 187301/185376. Cal. 44. Revolvers are virtually identical with 8″ rnd bbls, German silver front sights and 1-line New-York U.S. America address. Left side of frames are marked “COLTS PATENT” and left rear web of trigger guards have the cal marking. The silver plated brass trigger guards and iron backstraps contain wonderful full checkered ivory grips with last three digits of matching numbers to their respective revolvers. All of the serial numbers on the bottom of the revolvers are accompanied by a small “E” indicating they were to receive extra polish for engraving. Cyl on No. 187301 is unnumbered but has engraved borders identical to the backstraps. Revolvers are engraved identically in a previously unknown New York style of full coverage foliate arabesque patterns with fine pearled background on the frames. Engraving extends over the sides of the bbls and terminates forward of the address. Backstraps, buttstraps and trigger guards are engraved to match with deep Nimschke-style fans at top of backstraps. Backstraps & buttstraps have dash & dot borders. Hammers are also engraved with matching patterns on the shanks, wolfs heads on each side of hammer noses and fish scale patterns on top edges and sides of spurs. Accompanied by a beautiful, probably distributor supplied, rosewood casing with empty brass shield in the lid missing its lock escutcheon in the front. Interior is burgundy velvet lined and French fitted, recessed for both revolvers, a double sided trophy of arms & flags, eagle & stars angle spout flask, a blued steel bow-legged “COLT’S PATENT” mold with sprue cutter marked on the right side “44H”, a pewter oil bottle, an orig full paper sealed tin of Eley’s caps with faded orange label, a wood & steel cleaning rod with brass ferrule and a functioning key. Bottom front edge inside the case is compartmented for four cartridge packets. Engraved Model 1860 Army revolvers are scarce and a double cased set is extremely rare. CONDITION: Revolvers are virtually identical in condition, all matching including cylinders & grips; wedges are unnumbered. Overall both revolvers are grey metal patina showing light but authentic wear on the engraving with light pitting around the hammer noses; pitting is down in the engraving on the hammer noses which indicates they were engraved before they were fired, or at least they were engraved during the period of use; trigger guards retain traces of orig silver; backstraps & buttstraps are grey metal patina; cylinders are a grey metal patina and show 15-20% Ormsby Naval Battle scene roll marking with two areas of pitting on No. 187301. Grip on No. 187301 has a chipped right toe and a few age lines but is otherwise sound, showing moderate wear with a wonderful mellow ivory patina. Grip on No. 185376 has a sliver missing from the left toe and a chip in the right heel and some minor age lines, shows light to moderate wear and has a fine mellow ivory patina. Mechanics are fine; strong bores with moderate to heavy pitting. Case is missing corner pieces from all four of the bottom corners and has some chipped veneer in the same areas, otherwise case is sound with raised grain on the lid and retains most of its orig finish with a couple spots of touch-up; lining in the lid is moderately faded & soiled; lining in the bottom is heavily faded, brighter under the revolvers and implements with wear and damage from the hammer spurs and front edges of cylinders; covered compartment lid has a repaired edge; flask is a smooth brass patina with three or four small dents, missing its spring; mold retains 60-70% orig blue with sharp cavities; cap tin is missing a little of its paper wrap but is still sealed; other implements are fine. 4-51262 JR161 (30,000-50,000) – Lot 3045
