Description:
#4948 Colt S/A 5-1/2”x45COLT, “U.S. Artillery”, 5-1/2”x45COLT. First off, this Artillery is an extreme rarity (read the pages from Kopecs great book on the military Colts that deal with this rarity) with only ONE confirmed and photographed in Kopecs book, and only one other known by him to exist somewhere in Texas. Therefore, this is either another (3rd) one, or possibly this one is the one mentioned by Kopec in Texas that has been sold and traded through some ownership changes over the past years. What Kopec explains is that this was a standard issue U.S. Artillery that suffered a frame failure in the early 1900s while these were still in service. Rather than scrapping a much needed big-bore revolver, new frames were ordered from Colt. These new frames had no patent dates, no “U.S.” or inspector markings, and were the later style push-latch cylinder pin release. All the other parts were the regular mixed Colt S/A Artillery. Condition-wise, I’ll let the many photos speak for this rare gun, but suffice to say it is at least “Fine” condition overall. For the martial collector, of Colt Single Actions, this is a real ultimate rarity!! $8450
