1891 Colt SAA U.S. Cavalry Revolver - 7 1/2" - .45 Caliber in Very Nice Condition

Description:
This is a very nice example of a Colt U.S. Cavalry Revolver. .45 Caliber, 7 1/2" Barrel. Serial Number #137626. Manufactured in 1891, (Shipped Circa Jan. 20th). This revolver is 100% correct. The finish is 100% original. A lot of original blue remains. As you will see, a very nice amount of original case color remains as well. ALL markings are clear, complete, and correct, including the inspector marks. Grips are excellent and fit perfectly. Cartouches on both stocks are excellent. Bore in the 7 1/2" barrel is bright and shiny. Action works perfectly and is crisp. Lock-up is tight. No issues!!  According to the Kopec letter this revolver falls between a NY Militia revolver and a Cavalry revolver. It was inspected by Capt. Stanhope E. Blunt. The Ordnance sub-inspector is Rinaldo A. Carr. Kopec suspects it was possibly issued to Troop K. 8th Cavalry. He also states that based on the condition it might have been issued to a state militia unit, probably California or New York. As you can see in the pictures, this is a nice piece. Notice the Kopec letter mentions the hammer and cylinder pin were not original. Each piece has now been corrected. I do have the Kopec letter and the Colt Archives letter. This Colt Single Action Army Cavalry is highly collectible. Condition is much better than many you will see. It will make a great addition to any collection.

Please Note: In my other listing, I have another Colt SAA that left the Colt Factory on the same day as this one. Serial Number #137594. They both left the Colt Factory on January 20, 1891. That's over 125 years ago and here they are sitting together once again. These revolvers started life together and it would be great is they could stay together. PLEASE make me a Two Gun Offer. I really do not want to split these revolvers up.
