Description:
This Colt 1862 is Superb, Early, and Rare 2 digit Colt Model 1862 Police Pre Production Prototype. This Colt Model 1862 Police has a 5 1/2" barrel. This Colt Manufactured in 1861, the first year production with serial number 17. The very low two digit serial number is stamped on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, loading lever (left side), plunger (underside), and wedge. There are several features on this revolver that distinguish it from later production models and include the following: serialized loading lever and plunger; larger serial number font, frame devoid of the "COLTS/PATENT" marking, recoil shield without the capping groove, larger loading slot and the "PAT. SEPT. 10th 1850" information marked within two of the cylinder flutes. The top of the barrel has the early sought after one-line Hartford address flanked by dashes. The left side of the trigger guard is marked with the number "2." Fitted with a smooth varnished grip that retains 95% original Varnish. The trigger guard retains 50% silver finish. These are extremely rare and hell to find, any 2 digit Colt is extremely rare to find. This is the third earliest one I know of to exist.
