FINE COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 168744. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, slightly altered front sight with 1-line block letter address and roll mark “COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER” on left side. Bottom of bbl and in each flute on cylinder is stamped with tiny British proofs. Left side of frame has 2-line 3-patent dates and rampant Colt in a broken circle. Mounted with rampant Colt hard rubber grips. Given that the British did not usually find the 44-40 cartridge to their liking as an everyday side arm, it is very likely that this revolver was purchased by someone to take on safari to accompany his 44-40 Winchester or other rifle chambered for this round. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Overall retains 98-99% strong orig factory nickel with some minor dulling from holster wear dulling and a few scattered small pimples on front & back straps. Screws retain most of their orig fire blue. Grips, although unnumbered, fit very well and show little or no wear. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 4-39230 (22,500-27,500)
