Description:
VERY EARLY NEW SERVICE .44-40 WITH DESIRABLE 7 ½” BARREL, #12XXX, MADE 1904. This is a fine example of Colt’s earliest big bore side-swing cylinder revolvers. Barrel shows good thinning blue with excellent markings including the early barrel address and patent dates ending in 1900, front sight has not been filed or altered, fine cylinder and frame blue showing a little age with most of the wear on the edges and grip straps. Has the early circular “New Service” and rampant colt marking on the left side of the frame. Still retains some good fire blue on the trigger and hammer back. Very tight action and cylinder lock-up. Bore should brush out to excellent- looks like it has a little leading in it, but sharp rifling etc. Exc. grips fit perfectly, but are numbered about 20 numbers from this one (no doubt an inadvertent factory swap when final assembly was completed) with a couple of initials scratched in the bottom. Lanyard swivel intact. If I were riding the range in 1904 this is exactly the new-fangled revolver I’d have!
