Sale pending- charlie-U.S. Colt Single Action Army Cavalry Model Revolver 45 Colt Made 1880

Description:
U.S. Colt Single Action Army Cavalry Model Revolver 45 Colt Made 1880
serial #54805, 45 Colt, 5 1/8” shortened barrel with a fair bore showing old pitting and oxidation its full-length and otherwise good rifling. The metal surfaces of this 1880-made revolver show an old cleaning now toning to a medium pewter gunmetal patina with areas of pale gray-brown under bright light. There are some sparse remnants of old oxidation staining and light handling marks. The barrel was non-arsenal shortened at some point and the front sight blade reattached. The principal markings were left mostly unmolested remaining completely intact and quite strong throughout showing nice barrel address, very good patent dates and “U.S.” along the left side frame and proofs on barrel and cylinder. The underside barrel and frame retain strong “D.F.C.” David F. Clark inspector initials, those on the cylinder a bit softer but legible. The smooth walnut grip remains in very good condition as cleaned long ago now darkened from the years and showing a few small filler repairs along the bases, small chip at the left toe and edges a bit shy of the metal. The serialized parts are matching with proper ejector rod head intact and the action is crisp and seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. Included with this revolver are both a Colt and Kopec letter, the factory letter indicating the revolver shipped on April 10, 1880 in a 100 gun shipment to the U.S. Government, delivered to the inspector at the plant. Kopec’s letter details the non-arsenal barrel shortening and general condition also noting the revolver is fitted with a more modern mainspring and that the hammer notches were damaged. This has since been rectified by Single Action Service of Houston, Texas. Kopec notes that despite the barrel shortening this revolver undoubtedly escaped the 1893 ordnance refurbishment process as all of the numbers are matching. This old Cavalry Model remains a good representative example with a lot of character.
