Colt 1860 1st Model Richards conversion
Description: Antique 1860 Colt conversion 1st model. Here is a pretty decent Colt 1860 conversion. Caliber is in the .44 Colt center fire. This one is S/N 3078. Still has the original 8" barrel that has not been cut and restored like so many of these that you find. The mechanics are excellent. A very crisp and tight gun. Very little cylinder wobble. Rock solid barrel to frame fit also with no movment..The gun has about 20% of the original nickel plating remaining. Has never been cleaned on or messed with. Has some bumps and dings from an honestly used frontier revolver with some light pitting on the cylinder. Nothing bad at all or very detracting from the gun. All the markings are excellent. The cylinder retains about 20% scene. So many of these guns have been cleaned on and messed with. This one is straight up and honest. Still has the original ejector housing, rod and head. Most of these have been replaced on this model as the ejector head is easily broken on this model and have been replace with ones from the Colt SAA or have been homemade. This one is still all original.!!! The barrel wedge is not numbered The bore is very good with strong and sharp rifling with just some minor roughness. The chambers are pretty clean also and have not been modified or messed with. Hammer notches are all correct and positive. Spring loaded rebounding firing pin works perfectly. The ivory grips are beautiful with some age cracks, nothing serious, and fit very nice and tight and look to be original to the gun. The screws for the most part are clean and not all burred up. Untouched front sight. These Colt conversions are the very first big frame frontier cartridge revolvers that were being converted in 1867 and into the 1880's. Many of these have seen very hard use and abuse and finding one in this condition is getting pretty hard to do. Not very many ever made and many have had the barrels cut shorter. SOLD Antique: Yes |
