Description:
#4985 Colt S/A, 7-1/2x45COLT, “U.S. Cavalry” model, 12XXX range (1875), O.W. Ainsworth (OWA) inspected throughout. This old veteran has nice smooth metal with a thin brownish-blue patina mixing with some flashes of brighter blue in places and no pitting of any consequence. It is well marked with the A inspector martial markings in all the correct places, and all numbers (except the grips) match. The grips look to be originals, but are a 10XXX number, so while being OWA inspected and have what appears to be South Carolina markings (?), are not to this gun and they fit well, but not perfect. The metal is very nice and well above average and has almost no pitting or serious wear anywhere. The overall look is just being a very, VERY handsome old Indian War Era Colt. ..But suffice to say this …..since many, if not most Single Actions have been restored, enhanced, and juiced-up to some degree (especially these militaries), one should always take this possibility into consideration …and consequently this gun has been valued with that probability in mind. It also comes with the U.S Cavalry holster shown, which is in very decent condition except for the missing muzzle plug and minor stitch separation at the triggerguard area. This holster is included in the price of the gun, or I will buy it back at a three hundred dollar reduction off the revolver if not wanted. There are a lot of photos to this VERY desirable old Indian fighter (26 in all), so if they all don’t load, just email me and I will forward them to you by return email. This is a real opportunity to own a real piece of the Wild West frontier history and a highly sought after very early military cartridge handgun of the Indian Wars Era …and one of the fastest value appreciators in the antique gun field.
