Description:
With a SN of serial #24518, in .28 cal., with a 3 1/2” octagon barrel with a lightly oxidized and pitted bore. This “Model 2 Root” revolver has been lightly cleaned in the past and has toned to mostly pewter with strong brown overtones showing a scattering of pitting, stains from oxidation and handling marks. The smooth one-piece walnut grips rate good to very good with slight shrinkage, handling marks and flaking or worn finish. . The mechanism works mechanically with good timing and lock up. The barrel and cylinder are numbered to the gun and the scene on the unfluted cylinder is softened from wear and oxidized pitting. The barrel has the Colt Hartford address with the pointing finger and three Maltese crosses. A nice little Second Model Root that has seen honest use.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You[JB1]
