Description:
#4960 Colt S/A 5-1/2”x45COLT, 77XXX range (1882), good bore ( about a 5-6 on a scale of 10, showing wear and weakening to the rifling but no serious pitting) and VG action. The metal is very decent for its age and certainly better than average for what is basically considered a “no-finish gun” with an even thin grayish patina overall and almost no pitting. It has the correct ejector housing with the half-moon headed rod style that came out in the early 70XXX range. The hard rubber grips are the highly desirable “Eagle” grips, and while showing about 50% wear, are definitely in character with the revolver itself. (Eagle grips were first offered on the civilian S/A in 1882, so this is one of the first eagle gripped examples. The overall look is well above what one usually sees for an old cowboy Colt these days, especially for one made in the early1880s, even though the patent markings and barrel address lines are quite weak. There is a spurious “U.S.” stamped on the frame, as well, but it too is well worn. About VG-VG+ as described. $2995
