COLT MARTIALLY MARKED CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

COLT MARTIALLY MARKED CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 113262. Cal. 45 Colt. Usual configuration with 7-1/2″ bbl, slightly altered front sight and 1-line block letter address with second type ejector rod housing and bull’s eye ejector rod head. Bottom of bbl, under ejector rod housing, has last four digits of SN. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and a small “U.S.”. Mounted with 1-pc walnut grip that has 4-digits of a SN that appears to be “2406” in back strap channel. Both sides of the grip have the outline of cartouches which appear to be “JEG” (Capt. John E. Greer) on left side and “DFC” (David F. Clark) on right side. Bottom of bbl, bottom of frame, cylinder and bottom left edge of grip have small “DFC” inspector initials. The SN on trigger guard is accompanied by the “mysterious” “G” inspector initial. This revolver, having remained in full cavalry configuration, is somewhat unusual as the majority of the revolvers from these contracts were recalled and converted to 5-1/2″ artillery models. That this one has remained in orig configuration indicates that it was likely issued to a militia unit or was diverted out of government channels. PROVENANCE: Col. Kenneth P. Brown Collection. CONDITION: Very good, all matching except grip as noted. No orig finish remains being a cleaned & polished, possibly artificially aged smooth plum brown patina with a few light nicks on bbl and scratches on right side of frame. Cylinder is matching patina. Grip has chipped toes, otherwise is sound with some light battering on bottom edges and shows moderate to heavy wear with a few minor nicks & scratches and a spot of fill on left front lower edge. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, half cock notch is broken and timing needs attention, otherwise mechanics are fine. Strong bright bore with a very few spots of light pitting. 4-39463 JR220 (4,000-7,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2010

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.
