Description:
Markings along the bbl flat along with No. 1. On the bottom of the bbl is the serial number 1691; built in the very early 1870s. Cal is 41 rim fire. These guns were all metal including the handle. It has a very nice aged patina on the frame. The bbl is nickel plated and retains almost all of the nickel. It is possibly re nickeled? It even has the original opening latch which you see missing on a lot of these. A couple of pits in the otherwise good + bore. These little Colts were very popular with gamblers and soiled doves. This one is very nice. Solid and tight. A good collectable.
