Lot Description
Professionally Restored and Engraved Nickel Plated Colt Single Action Army Revolver

.45 Long Colt. 7.5" barrel length. SN: 59026. (Mfg. Ca 1880) Nickel plated refinish over all parts including screws and small parts, one piece simulated ivory grips, and displaying elaborate modern scroll engraving overall. Single-action loading gate six-shot revolver mounting a black-powder frame with screw retained cylinder pin. The revolver additionally features black powder pattern rifling, a kidney shaped ejector rod head, and three line patent mark on the frame reading PAT. SEPT. 19. 1871./" JULY. 2. -72./" JAN. 19. -75. The left triggerguard shows the 45 CAL marking, and the barrel shows the address mark COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. CO HARTFORD CT. U.S.A. An assembly number of 1264 is struck into the loading gate. The engraving is in contemporary style and features floral embellishments with beaded ground spreading along both sides of the barrel and the frame. The front sight and hammer both feature scroll engraving, and the topstrap has been engraved with flowing lines and beads. A sunburst pattern adorns the triggerguard, the flanks of the frame opposite the cylinder pin, and alternating with floral scroll over the chambers. The modern engraving is unsigned and retains both its depth and sharpness.
