Description:
This is definitely one of the finest David F. Clark (DFC) inspected Single Actions available today, and may well be the best. John Kopec believes it is unfired and may well have been unissued and could have remained at Springfield Armory until the final surplus sales in the 1920's. Not only does it retain most of its original blue, but unlike most, it still has almost all of its bright and vivid color case-hardening. The insides of the chambers have 100% blue finish intact, showing no wear from firing, but the base-pin does appear to be a later replacement. The grips are near perfect with no dings or nicks, and the cartouches are excellent. To quote Mr. Kopec (see picture of Kopec letter), "During our examination of this fine revolver, we have noted its superb unissued condition. It remains in virtually new condition. It would be very difficult to ever hope to find a finer Cavalry revolver on the market today". While we may never know for sure how this gun manufactured in 1882 survived in this condition, the fact that it did only adds to its rarity and desirability.
