Colt Richards Conversions:
.44-caliber Colt Army 1860s, 28,000,  .36 caliber 1862 Police, and another 250,000 .36-caliber 1851 Navy models) cap and ball revolvers before 1873. It was almost inevitable that the majority of the efforts into factory conversions of these guns should be done in the same plant. Throughout the 1870s, no less than four different series of designs were used by the factory that replaced the cap and ball cylinder with one for cartridges. This included the Richards 12-Stop, Richards 2nd Model, Richards-Mason, and Thuer conversions. Common market value for these guns was about $5 in the 1880s.

Colt marketed these conversions as being available to current Colt owners (for a fee) to convert their already owned revolvers to shoot cartridges. This could be done for a few dollars whereas a new Smith would cost the equivalent of a month’s salary.

  Great revolver for your collection!
