BLACK POWDER COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

BLACK POWDER COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 102588. Cal. 45 Colt. Blue & color case hardened with 7-1/2″ bbl, slightly thinned front sight and 1-line block letter address. Bottom of bbl under ejector rod housing has the last four digits of SN which are also found on the outer diameter of the cylinder. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and it is mounted with rampant Colt/eagle hard rubber grips. Left front web of trigger guard has the caliber marking. It appears that the grip locator pin has been added. Likely this revolver was originally sold with 1-pc grip. Grip locator holes inside the grips have a filler which reduces the holes from a larger diameter. They also have a second locator hole near the heel on each side which further indicates that they are replacements. Regardless, this is a fine antique single action.

Bbl retains about 70% orig blue, strong & bright on bottom, thinning on top around front sight and front half of the bbl. Left side of bbl and outer radius of ejector rod housing show holster wear leaving a silver/gray patina. Ejector rod housing retains about 40-50% orig blue with loss areas flaked to a light patina with wear on outer radius. Frame retains 70-75% orig case colors, strong in front gullets and sheltered areas, faded elsewhere, turning silver over top strap, recoil shield & loading gate. Hammer retains faded colors on sides & rear edge with top edge a dark gray patina. Cylinder retains thin blue in the flutes with outer diameter a blue/brown patina. Trigger guard & back strap retain strong blue in sheltered areas with front & back straps a blue/brown patina. Grips are sound showing light wear and have turned to light chocolate color.
