FINE LATE COLT CAVALRY MODEL SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 132836. Cal. 45 Colt. Blue & color case hardened with 7-1/2″ bbl, full front sight and 1-line block letter address. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and a small “US”. Mounted with 1-pc walnut grip with last four digits of matching SN in backstrap channel. Left side of grip has a mostly legible “SEB” (Capt. Stanhope E. Blunt) inspector cartouche under the date “1890” and the right side a fully legible “RAC” (Rinaldo A. Carr) sub-inspector cartouche. The frame, bbl, cyl & left bottom edge of grip are also marked with the “RAC” sub-inspector initials. Trigger guard, backstrap & end of ejector housing have the “K” inspector initials. Screws & trigger are fire blued. All visible SNs are matching with last four digits of matching SN on bottom of bbl & cyl. This revolver was in the last contracts of governmental orders which were usually issued to state militias which allowed them to escape the recalls of the 1890s and early 20th century where large numbers of Cavalry revolvers were converted to artillery configuration by having their bbls reduced to 5-1/2″ and usually with mixed parts. CONDITION: Extremely fine, all matching including cyl & grip. Bbl retains virtually all of its crisp glossy blue with only faint sharp edge wear on left side and a small scratch on left side; both sides of hammer & ejector housing stud show strong feathers; ejector housing has a couple of small nicks on outer radius and shows very light sharp edge wear; frame & hammer retain virtually all of their orig case colors, brilliant in sheltered areas, lightly to moderately faded elsewhere, thin on the recoil shield; hammer retains brilliant case colors turned a little dark on top edge; trigger guard & backstrap retain virtually all of their bright orig blue with a few small nicks on backstrap; cyl retains about 90% crisp orig blue with scrape lines around outer diameter and shows strong blue in the chambers and bore of the bbl. Grip has a tiny chip on left toe and a couple of dings on each side, shows light to moderate wear and retains most of its orig oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, appears to be completely unfired. 4-48765 JR334 (30,000-40,000)
