Description:
You have heard the saying if this old gun could talk ? What story would it tell?
?This old Colt was born about 1858 Just befor the civil war which started in in 1861 and lasted for 4 years ending 1865. . The mechanics are are very good on this 5 shot revolver has correct timing with tight lock up all serials match except the wedge may have been battle field exchange . the back strap and under side display about 70% silver plate has gone to orcach finish. Barrel address is first type 2 line new york.. The cylinder shows original pins and nipples are all open . The cylinder scean is about 15% in places this was left to exsposer to the elements show moderate ti fine oxidation through out . When you go to full cock the cone is tight to cylinder so no blow back when fired with black powder. no smokless should be used in this old revolver.
?The walnut wood grips appear original to this lovely peice the left grip is redish brown while the right grip is dark brown as walnut does with age. . The over all patina to this old 1587 year old gun appears to be a yellow brown patina like maybe was in a smokey saloon or maybe a bingo hall. Upon inspection of the bore it does not have any deep etch from black powder and the rifeling is sharp it did have rust I cleaned and cleaned an oiled. It looks good in there. The screws look very good I think are original and are not all muscelled out. My opinion of this old guns its seen a lot of poor storage and cleaning and then sat a long time . Its not been fired a whole lot as evidence of Bore is sharp and action is still very tight. . so thats the long of the short of it circa 1858 did it see civil war duty most likley > i ship to the world this is antique...... wire transfer is ok shipping $25.00 USA 48 states with proof of ID
