Description:
COLT THUER CONVERSION OF AN 1860 ARMY. SERIAL NO.177044. THESE WERE THE FIRST CONVERSIONS TO CARTRIDGE BY COLT STARTING IN 1869. COLT ARMIES CONVERTED TO THE THUER SYSTEM ARE RARE AND SELDOM COME AVAILABLE ON THE COLLECTOR MARKET. THUER CONVERSIONS WERE APPLIED TO SEVEN DIFFERENT COLT PERCUSSION MODELS WITH A TOTAL OF 5000 IN ALL. AN EXACT NUMBER OF CONVERTED ARMIES IS UNKNOWN, BUT SURELY LESS THAN 900. THIS EXAMPLE IS EXTREMELY NICE. 40-50% BRIGHT ORIGINAL HIGH POLISH BLUE ON BARREL. SOME ORIGINAL BLUE ON REBATE OF CYLINDER ALONG WITH SOME ON CONVERSION RING. BACKSTRAP HAS SOME ORIGINAL BLUE REMAINING. A FAIR AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL CASECOLORS REMAINS ON FRAME, HAMMER AND LOADING LEVER. GRIPS RETAIN MOST ALL ORIGINAL VARNISH WITH A FEW SCUFFS AND DINGS. ALL SCREWS ARE GREAT EXCEPT WEDGE SCREW A LITTLE MARRED. ALL NUMBERS MATCH EXCEPT WEDGE WHICH IS UNUMBERED. REAR OF CYLINDER AND CONVERSION RING HAVE SAME ASSEMBLY NUMBER. HAMMER HAS HARDENED SEAT AS IT SHOULD. LOADING LEVER HAS CORRECT CONVERSION MODIFICATION. ORIGINAL FRONT SIGHT IS AS IT SHOULD BE. BORE IS SHINY WITH SPOTS OF CORROSION. CYLINDER SCENE IS 100%. ACTION IS PERFECT. A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR AN ADVANCED COLT COLLECTION! PLEASE CALL 973-214-3407 WITH QUESTIONS. THANKYOU
