*SCARCE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

*SCARCE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 264683. Cal. 38 Colt. Blue & color case hardened with 5-1/2″ bbl, slightly altered front sight with 1-line block letter address and caliber marking on left side. Bottom of bbl, under base pin, is marked with a tiny “38”. Left side of frame has 2-line 3-patent dates and rampant Colt in a broken circle and it is mounted with rampant Colt hard rubber grips numbered “350432” on the inside. Left side of front & back straps, under the grip, are stamped with a small “6” which would ordinarily indicate an assembly number used during factory refinish, however no other parts were observed with this number. In keeping with the idea that this is possibly a factory refinish, the rear face of cylinder is hand stamped with last four digits of SN which are also found on the bottom of the bbl under ejector rod housing. Accompanied by a Colt factory letter identifying this revolver as found with type of stocks not listed, shipped to Farwell, Ozmum, Kirk & Co., St. Paul, MN on Feb. 21, 1905 in a one gun shipment. Remarks section states “Approximately 2,376 were produced as 38 Colt.” which makes this a rather rare single action. CONDITION: Good to very good. Bbl retains about 60-65% strong factory blue with heavy holster wear on left side and around muzzle. Left side by the caliber marking has some light hammer marks. Ejector rod housing retains most of a restored factory style blue with heavy wear on outside end of the housing. Frame retains mottled, faded case colors, stronger in sheltered areas, brighter on sides of hammer. Left upper edge of frame has an area of deep pitting, probably from holster storage in a damp climate, with another spot on ejector rod boss and lighter etching on right side of frame and right shoulder of trigger guard. Trigger guard & back strap are a blue/gray patina. Grips are sound showing light to moderate wear. Hammer is not solid in safety or half cock notches and hammer spring is a little weak, otherwise mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with a couple of small spots of pitting near the muzzle. 4-39751 (3,500-4,500)
