*COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 294986. Cal. 41 Colt. Blue & color case hardened with 4-3/4″ bbl, slightly altered front sight and 2-line address with caliber marking on left side. There is a tiny “41” on bottom of the bbl, under the base pin. Left side of the frame has 2-line, 3-patent dates and rampant Colt in a circle. Mounted with rampant Colt hard rubber grips matching numbered to this revolver. Single actions in caliber 41 are reasonably scarce, especially with the 4-3/4″ bbl. They were popular with some facets of law enforcement due to their light recoil but effective stopping power at short range. CONDITION: Fine to very fine.

Grips are sound showing very light wear and have turned chocolate. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore; shows little evidence of having been used. 4-48237 JR368 (5,000-6,000)
