1874 Colt Cavalry "Ainsworth" inspected Single Action Army Revolver W/Kopec Letter
Description:
Colt U.S. Cavalry "Ainsworth" inspected. Serial #9721, 45 LC, 7 1/2" barrel with a very good bore. This is an all original revolver which shows matching numbers on the barrel, cylinder, frame, triggerguard and backstrap. The early slanted barrel address remains very clean as do the twp-line patent dates on the frame. The revolver comes with a Kopec letter of authentication dated March 9, 1998. Kopec points out the nice markings, that the gun has never been enhanced by any gunsmiths and that it was likely one of the revolvers issued to the 8th Cavalry based on known 8th Cavalry issued guns in this serial range. It shows all the correct early features including the markings, doughnut shaped ejector head, ejector rod housing with barrel boss, small cylinder bolt stops, etc. Kopec mentions the only part not original being the cylinder pin retaining screw, which still shows some blue and could be toned to match better. The gun shows matching "A" sub-inspectors initials on bottom of barrel, cylinder, triggerguard and top of backstrap. There are also initials "P" on bottom of barrel and on the cylinder. The metal surfaces of revolver show an even medium gray brown undisturbed patina with some scattered oxidation staining and light pitting near muzzle and on rear of barrel ahead of cylinder. There is also some very light pitting on the outer edges of the recoil shield but all of this is unobtrusive, the markings are nice and the surfaces show a lovely honest appearance. Screwheads remain quite clean and the one-piece walnut grip shows wear commensurate with the balance of revolver and shows no remaining insepctors marks. The grips show wear and some loss to left toe and right heel. This is a very honest example of an Ainsworth inspected, 1874 production Colt Cavalry Single Action with Kopec authentication letter.
