FANTASTIC CASED COLT ROOT MODEL 2 PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

FANTASTIC CASED COLT ROOT MODEL 2 PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN 13339. Cal. 28. Blue finish with 3-1/2″ oct bbl, brass pin front sight, Hartford address with pointing hand motif, 5-shot cylinder with cabin and Indian fight scene and mounted with a 1-pc walnut grip. Accompanied by its orig Colt mahogany casing with burgundy velvet lining compartmented in bottom for the revolver, a fine 2-sided American eagle “E PLURIBUS UNUM” flask, a brass 2-cavity mold with bright steel “COLTS PATENT” sprue cutter and an orig turn screw. Although this was the most prolific of the many Colt Root models, very few were cased and are almost never encountered with strong orig finish. CONDITION: Extraordinarily fine, all matching, probably unfired. Overall retains about all of its glossy bright orig factory blue and brilliant case colors with the only noticeable loss on the cyl around one nipple recess and a couple of small scratches on cyl, otherwise appears to be new & unfired. Grip is equally new. Crisp mechanics, brilliant shiny bore. Case has a couple of grain checks in the lid and another in bottom otherwise is sound with usual storage & handling marks and retains nearly all of its orig varnish. Interior is moderately to heavily faded but intact with light damage from front sight and hammer screw. Flask is extremely fine plus with only a few spots of discoloration on collar. Mold is pristine new. Turn screw has been dressed, otherwise is fine. An extraordinary find in this condition. 4-38918 (18,000-22,000)
