Left side of frame has two line patent dates and rampant colt in a circle and gun is mounted with pair of smooth mother-of-pearl grips. Engraving is typical of Cuno Helfricht foliate, sunburst, snake & dot, and punch dot backgrounds. Left side of barrel is marked “45 COLT” in banner panel surrounded by foliate Helfricht engraving. This gun was made in 1892 as is a similar Helfricht engraved gun SN 147,144 is identified to the outlawed “Kid Curry” in RL Wilson’s book The Peacemakers.

Caliber marking on trigger guard was buffed away during refinishing, but “45”at bottom of barrel under cylinder pin is still discernible. Left grip has two glued repairs, one at top edge next to frame and one at inside toe which can be seen in photos, otherwise grips fit gun well. Action and mechanics are good. For retains good discernible rifling. 4-46553 JS176 (15,000-20,000)
