Description:
#4951 Colt S/A, 7-1/2”x45COLT, 22XXX range (1876), VG+ bore, about a 7+ on a scale of 10 with some minor lead build-up and just light wear, no bad spots and looking very shootable (…after the “blessing” by a competent gunsmith, of course!) VG tight smooth action with all the clicks on the hammer and a crisp lock-up. The exterior retains a smooth dark patina finish and the metal and markings are all in good condition, including the italic barrel address and the frame patent dates. The matching serial numbers, including the barrel and cylinder are still good as well. The wood grips are excellent and have no losses or detrimental marks and they match the condition of the revolver with the entire gun looking to have almost no serious wear at all, which is pretty rare on a Single Action as early as this one is. The metal is smooth and crisp, the finish is a pleasing dark brownish patina, and overall this is just a really early and very desireable civilian sold mid-1870s Colt. Also included in the price, and otherwise normally costing $150, is the factory Colt letter showing this Colt as having been in a shipment of 17 other S/As in January 1876 to one of Colts major wholesale houses, B.Kittredge in Cincinnati. It’s getting pretty danged difficult to find any decent pre-1880s vintage Colt Single Action at anything much under $6-7000, so this should be a really good buy at $4650.
