Description:
#4980 Colt SA 7-1/2”x44WCF, 52XXX range (1879), VG/VG+ bore, about a 7-7+ on a scale of 10 and having a tight smooth action with all the clicks on the hammer. The metal is a smooth thin grey with some beginnings of a faint brown patina with scattered light to moderate pitting. VG markings with very, VERY faint traces of the etched “COLT FRONTIER SIX-SHOOTER” barrel logo. (This is visible if you have “X-Ray Superman Vision”, but pretty tough to see by us mere Earthlings.) VG standard original wood grips with medium to heavy wear overall and having a chip at the left toe edge. Overall, this old “Thumb-Buster” screams of good ole cowboy history of riding herds and open prairie …and even though it is a no-finish gun, it has a very handsome appearance. But suffice to say this (…and this is a VERY important fact!!)…that since many, if not most Single Actions have been restored, enhanced, and/or “juiced-up” to some degree, one should always take the possibility of some degree of restoration into consideration. In this case, the barrel is suspect because the overall finish and condition suggest this is a correct restoration. It has the correct style address and is correctly numbered and matched except the frame shows more light pitting; the barrel has none. This gun has been valued and priced with that possibility in mind because if I were 100% certain that this gun was pure-as-the-driven-snow, it would easily be a $3500 gun.VG $2995
