Description:
U.S. Colt Single-Action Army Cavalry Model Revolver 45 Colt Made in 1885
serial #116867, 45 Colt, 7 1/2” barrel with a very good bore which is bright for most of its length with strong rifling but shows some pitting in the last third toward the muzzle area. A quite pleasing and honest revolver, the barrel is primarily a plum patina with pewter undertones showing generous trace blue in the very protected areas, the extractor rod housing is similar with strong blue on the underside of the barrel. The cylinder is showing pewter toning on the sharp edges along with a cylinder turn ring, with some scattered pinprick pitting about the surfaces as well. The frame is a silvery-gray-plum case-hardened patina with some generous trace colors lurking in the very protected areas. The backstrap has drifted to a pleasing smooth plum with some generous trace blue at the root of the triggerguard, the frontstrap with a few minor impact marks. The one piece walnut grip rates very good to fine a showing some smoothing, flaked original varnish and light left and right side cartouches which can be faintly read and seem to be Clark and Heath; there is a tiny chip at the front lower edge of left and right of butt and while difficult to discern the number inside the butt recess appears to be “6867”. The “U.S.” remains prominent on left of frame near the three line patent markings with “G” sub inspectors marking and “DFC” prominent ahead of the serial number, on underside of barrel and on cylinder, and all numbers match including the barrel; the ejector rod head on this example now kidney-shaped. A couple of the screws show some very light damage and the head of the base pin is a bit scarred up. The hammer spring is robust and the gun seems to operate properly, the half-cock notch a bit worn as the firing pin does protrude and the bolt drags a tiny bit on the loading notch. The included factory letter shows shipment in December 1885 to the inspector at the Colt plant, and the arm remains a very pleasing and honest example of an original cavalry-length Colt Army Model which is destined to improve in value as the years pass.
