Description:
#4961 Colt S/A, 5-1/2”x45COLT, “U.S.” Artillery model with mixed serial numbers, as is correct, as these were dismantled Cavalry revolvers that were later altered in the late 1890s to the 5-1/2” length, then re-assembled (with no regard to matching parts), and refurbished to replace the ineffective 38COLT D/A models. The frame number is in the 49XXX range (1879) and thus being originally a Henry Nettleton inspected Cavalry, the remaining numbers all mixed. Interestingly, the trigger guard is in the 51XX range which would make it dead center for the Black Hills shipment to the Custers 7th Cavalry!! VG+ bore, about a 7+ on a scale of 10. Tight smooth action and a crisp lock-up and hammer is the correct vintage for this period of Colt. The exterior is mostly a smooth even plum-brown metal overall and the metal is very good+ with no appreciable pitting. Address and patent markings are VG, the one-piece walnut grips have dim remnants of cartouches on both sides and what looks to be an 1883 date on the left side….and they do fit excellent. Half moon ejector rod head. A very decent Artillery. $3195
