3RD MODEL COLT 2ND VARIATION DERINGER.

3RD MODEL COLT 2ND VARIATION DERINGER. SN 1264. This style deringer was manufactured up to about SN 2400. Then the frame style was changed to make it stronger. This is the 2nd hardest frame style to find. PROVENANCE: L.D. Eberhart Collection. CONDITION: This 2nd variation high hammer was made with a silver plated frame and blued bbl with 5 blue screws. The silver is remaining over the complete brass frame nearly 100%. The bbl is blued but is fading in probably 50% because of some substance that has been applied that has made the blue come off in about 40% of the bbl. The Colt marking is very clear. The fire blue on all the screws with the exception of one is very clear and apparent. The grips are nice bright color walnut with very few ding or scratches and retain 90%+ of their original varnish. The high hammer retains nearly 100% of its original case color. The trigger retains 90% of its original blue color. An excellent example of this very early rare style Colt 3rd M 2nd var. 4-47501 DE119 (1,500-3,000)
