*FINE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

*FINE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 76854. Cal. 45 Colt. Nickel finish with 5-1/2″ bbl, full front sight with 1-line block letter address and caliber marking on left side. There is a tiny “45” on bottom of barrel below the base pin with what appears to be a part of a British vue proof. There are no other proofs anywhere on the revolver. Left side of the frame has 3-line patent dates and the caliber marking is on the left front web of the trigger guard. The caliber marking appears to have been “450 CAL / E”. The “0” has been peened over leaving “45 CAL / E”. Mounted with very nicely figured varnished 1-pc walnut grip with the last four digits of serial number in the back strap channel. It has its orig cylinder pin with blued front end and dimples in each end. All screws are fire blue. Accompanied by a Colt Factory letter that identifies this revolver as found with 5-1/2″ bbl in caliber 45 with nickel finish & wood grip. It was shipped April 30, 1901 to E.K. Tryon, Jr. & Co., Philadelphia, PA in a one gun shipment. It appears that the trigger guard caliber marking was a factory error that was rectified as described above. CONDITION: Extremely fine, all matching. Cylinder is unnumbered. Overall retains about 96-97% strong orig factory nickel with some slight burn & finish loss on the cylinder face and a spot of flaking on top edge of the hammer. Grip is sound with minor edge wear and a few small handling & storage nicks and retains about all of its strong, bright orig factory varnish. Screws & cylinder pin retain most of their orig fire blue except the front trigger guard screw. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. 4-35787 (30,000-40,000)
