MARTIALLY MARKED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY CAVALRY REVOLVER.

MARTIALLY MARKED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY CAVALRY REVOLVER. Cal. 45 Colt. SN 48119. Fine Henry Nettleton sub-inspected Colt with 7-1/2″ bbl, with 1-line block letter address having a dbl line under the “O” in “CO”. It has 3-line patent dates & a small “US”, without periods, on left side of frame. It has second type ejector rod housing with bullseye ejector rod head. It has 1-pc walnut grip with date “1878” and legible cartouche “JEG” in an oval for Capt. John E. Greer on the left side and the “HN” cartouche in an oval on right side. The “HN” inspector marks are found on bottom of bbl, the cyl, frame, trigger guard, back strap & left side of hammer. In the experience of this cataloguer it is unusual to find inspector initials on the hammer. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching including bbl & cylinder. Bbl retains 65-70% orig blue with balance a light patina. Frame retains most of its orig case colors, strong & bright in sheltered areas, fading to silver elsewhere. Hammer retains virtually all of its orig case colors, strong on sides & back edge, turned dark on top. Grip frame retains about 40% thin orig blue, mostly on trigger guard & butt strap. Cyl is mostly a blue/brown patina on outer diameter with strong blue in flutes. A couple of frame screws are slightly battered. Hammer will not hold at half cock, otherwise mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with scattered light pitting. 4-59017 JR76 (6,000-10,000)
