COLT WALKER PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN C Company No. 48. This is among the finest Colt Walker “facsimiles” we have ever seen. This gun measures correctly in most every dimension of a true 1847 produced martial “Colt Walker” percussion revolver. Bbl flat has correct style single line New York address and “US/1847” is correctly stamped on right side of bbl housing. This gun is marked “C COMPANY No 48” in correct dip sizes for frame, butt of backstrap, trigger guard, bbl housing and cylinder. The cylinder is decorated with the correct “Texas Ranger-Indian Fight” scene. The stocks even have the correct shape where they are curved going into frame which is rarely seen. This gun according to consignor was purchased by her late husband as original almost 50 years ago. This is a somewhat deceptive, true to form, copy of an original C Company Walker. CONDITION: Overall gun is in very good, sound functional condition. Metal overall has a brown aged patina. Markings are especially deep in iron. Cylinder scene is 90% discernible including Ormsby’s signature. Stocks are sound and solid, well fit with scattered dings and dents. Trigger guard has numerous small scrapes and scratches with mustard colored patina with staining. 4-45697 JS140 (4,000-6,000)
