Description:
#4887 Colt 1860 Army revolver, non-factory “Avenging Angel” being a 2-1/2” shortened barrel, no rammer system and mixed numbers, 44cal percussion, 72XXX frame serial range. Civilian Model and thus having no military cut-outs on the recoil shield. G-VG bore and crisp, tight action, good markings but worn cylinder scene due to being carried in a coat or vest pocket and so no scene remains except a partial serial number. Also known as a “Morman Singing Angel”, these cut-offs were well known to have been carried by the Morman religious organization (who often wore suits and rarely exposed weapons openly) and were severely pursercuted in the 1800s for their religious beliefs and thus needed personal defense. Smooth plum color on the barrel, remainder being grey-brown metal with no pitting of mention, grips show considerable varnish remaining and only minor wear and use. This old veteran is certainly not some pristeen unused “dresser drawer queen” …it has definitely “seen the elephant” a few times but is VG-VG+ as described. $1495
