COLT RIMFIRE SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

COLT RIMFIRE SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 1624. Cal. 44 RF Henry. Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, slightly altered front sight with 1-line block letter address. Bottom of bbl has the serial number under the ejector rod housing and “44” about 1/2″ forward of the frame. Back edge of frame and hammer slot have correct inspector initials with bin number “42” on loading gate. Bore is conventionally rifled as is found in rimfire SAA’s and ejector rod is 2nd type with bull’s eye ejector rod head. Mounted with 1-pc walnut grip numbered to this revolver in back strap channel. Accompanied by an early, lightly tooled Slim Jim style holster made for a single action revolver with a replacement belt loop harness riveted to back side. Consignor states that this holster came with this revolver when he purchased it many years ago. These rare revolvers, approx. 1,892 produced in period 1875-1880, in their own serial range, were essentially obsolete by the time they were produced. Finding limited acceptance on the American market, Colt was able to sell most of the existing stock to remote & undeveloped countries such as Mexico & South America where the Henry & Winchester Model 1866 rifles were still in use and where care was minimal at best. Consequently it is rare to find one of these rimfire revolvers with orig bbl length and finish. CONDITION: Fine. Overall retains 88-90% strong orig nickel turning slightly milky. Cyl & trigger guard show the primary losses. Grip has slightly chipped toes showing moderate to heavy wear and retains 35-40% orig varnish. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are fine. Strong bore with good shine and scattered pitting. Holster has some minor period of use restitching and shows moderate to heavy wear but is sound and flexible with lightly crackled finish. 4-36622 JR5 (25,000-45,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2009

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
