RARE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY SHERIFF’S MODEL.

RARE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY SHERIFF’S MODEL. Cal. 45 Colt. SN 145347. Blue & case colored with rare 3-1/2″ bbl, made without ejector rod. It has 2-line patent dates & Rampant Colt in a circle on left side of frame and has spectacular raised carved 2-pc ox head pearl grips. There is a tiny “45” on bottom of bbl under base pin. Base pin has orig dimples at each end. While there are many Sheriff’s Models on market today, only a few are authentic. This is one of the better authentic examples available. Accompanied by a Colt Factory letter identifying this revolver with 3-1/2″ bbl, blue finish and type of stocks “not listed”. It indicates shipment to John M. Moore, address unavailable on July 26, 1893 in a shipment of one gun. CONDITION: Very fine. Traces of orig finish remain with bbl being mostly a dark smooth patina with blue in sheltered areas. Frame has traces of silvered case colors in sheltered areas, being mostly a light silver/gray patina. Hammer retains about 50% faded case colors on sides in sheltered areas. Grip frame retains 15-20% blue, mostly on trigger guard, with some dark plum blue at top of back strap with balance a silver/brown patina. Mechanics are crisp, strong bright bore with light pitting. Grips, probably not orig to this revolver, are very beautiful with lots of fire & color and have a tiny chip on right side at frame with another minuscule chip on left toe. A rather rare specimen in very nice orig condition. 4-56614 JR70 (30,000-45,000)
