Description:
If I HAD THE CATEGORY “UNUSUAL REVOLVERS,” THIS COLT WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE ON THE LIST! Here we have a New Army/New Navy Model on which someone put a 10” barrel with milled-in boss for a dovetailed front blade sight. Now, hang on to your hat, because the best is yet to come! The cylinder has had each chamber sleeved to accept a .25-20 WCF cartridge! Obviously, the barrel is .25 caliber with a thick forcing cone. Looks like the extreme back of the top strap has been slotted for a sight blade that is now missing, but would be easy to replace. Judging by the consistent blue wear on the barrel, frame and cylinder, I’d say this was done a very long time ago and that the gun has seen serious use. The serial number is 130XXX which puts the manufacture date at 1899. Still retains good blue on the frame, cylinder and barrel that is aged and mixing brown. Grips are correct and each as a chip at the rear bottom edge. Bore is excellent and action functions, but could use a good tightening up. In no way am I selling this as a shooter, but if you want to try it out, please get it checked by a competent gunsmith who can tighten up the cylinder lock-up etc. And be sure to KEEP YOUR LOADS LIGHT! The workmanship is actually quite good. This kind of work would cost a fortune to do today. If you’ve been dreaming of a 10” double action “Buntline Special” in .25-20 (and who hasn’t), here it is!
