#5005 Colt S/A, 5-1/2”x45COLT, “U.S.” Artillery

Description:
#5005 Colt S/A, 5-1/2”x45COLT, “U.S.” Artillery model with mixed serial numbers, as is correct because these were dismantled Cavalry revolvers that were later altered in the late 1890s to about 1904 to the 5-1/2” length, then re-assembled (with no regard to matching numbered parts), and refurbished. All this was done during the Philippine Insurrection to replace the ineffective 38COLT D/A models. The frame number is in the 112XXX range (1884) and thus being an original David F. Clark inspected Cavalry, the remaining numbers all mixed during the refinishing and re-assenbly. VG+/Fine bore, about a 8 on a scale of 10. Tight smooth action and a crisp lock-up, although the safety notch is weak. The hammer is the correct vintage for this period of Colt. The exterior is mostly a smooth even plum-brown metal overall and the metal is very good+ with no appreciable pitting; just some light freckled “salt-n-pepper” pits here and there. Address and patent markings are VG, the one-piece walnut grips fit like a glove with no remnants of any cartouches on either side, however they do fit excellent. Half moon ejector rod head. All-in-all, a pretty decent Artillery. About VG-VG+ $2895
