#4913 Colt Model 1855 “Root” Sidehammer revolver, Type 2
Description:
#4913 Colt Model 1855 “Root” Sidehammer revolver, Type 2 with 3-1/2” barrel, 28caliber, round cylinder with rolled scene (70% of which is still intact, but light). The exterior retains about 65-75% coverage of 60% density original blue-brown with some very good amounts of crystal bright blue in the more protected areas. The grips are Excellent and retain 90% original varnish and no damage. Okay, that was the GOOD stuff. On the downside, this Colt is missing the trigger and the hand and spring. But if it is used mainly as a display piece …or some collector has a lesser parts gun that has these parts, this Root is a very, VERY decent piece to restore. It might also be noted that the Model 1855 was the very troublesome and unreliable model that almost caused Col. Colt to go bankrupt in the late 1850s. The 1849 and 1851 models were so successful that they staved off the creditors and that gave Colt the breathing room into the early 1860s and the highly successful Army Model. Except for the missing pieces, easily “Fine” as described. $675
