MARTIALLY MARKED COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 54308. Cal. 45 Colt. All blue finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, full front sight and block letter 1-line address. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and a small “U.S.”. Mounted with 1-pc varnished walnut grip with last four digits of SN in back strap channel. Revolver has been very professionally refinished, possibly at the arsenal, with the patent dates on frame re-rolled and the “U.S.” restamped. Bbl is possibly a replacement at the time of refinish. Grip has the commercial varnish finish. It has 3rd type ejector rod housing with bull’s eye ejector rod head. Frame, bbl & cyl bear the “D.F.C.” (David F. Clark) sub-inspector initials which are not present on grip. It appears likely that this revolver was one of the large group of Cavalry Colts sold as surplus, refurbished and sold on the civilian market. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching including grip. Overall retains 70-75% thinning blue with candy striping on frame, front strap & back strap. Hammer retains dark case colors under its thin blue finish. Cyl is mostly a gray/brown patina with traces of blue in flutes. Grip shows moderate edge wear with nicks & scratches in finish and retains most of its orig varnish. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are fine. Bright shiny bore with scattered light pitting. 4-41722 JR37 (4,000-6,000)
