Description:
#4966 Colt S/A, 5-1/2”x45COLT, “U.S.” Artillery model with mixed serial numbers, as is correct. These were dismantled Cavalry revolvers that were later altered in the late 1890s to early 1900s 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 113XXX range (1886) and thus being originally a David F. Clark inspected Cavalry, the remaining numbers all mixed. It has the replacement barrel and grips with “R.A.C” (Rinaldo A. Carr) markings, and this is correct according to the Colt books on the military S/As. This was done in the early 1900s when the arsenal was finalizing the Artillery rebuilds and ran out of the old barrels and grips. They simply ordered a batch of new parts from Colt and finished up the last batches of guns to then be sent to the Philippines and replace the D/A 38s. Fine bore, 60% barrel blue with about a 50% density, traces of faded case colors on the frame, fine metal and markings, bulls-eye ejector head and well above an average Artillery. About Fine overall. $3895
