Lot Description
Restored & Engraved 1883 Production Colt Single Action Army Revolver in .44-40
.44-40. 4.75" barrel. SN: 96656. Silvered finish, blued small parts, two-piece ivory grips. Single action revolver with black powder solid frame, loading gate, frame notch rear sight and round blade front sight. No barrel or frame markings from polishing, refinishing and the addition of the contemporary engraving in the style of Cuno Helfricht that covers about 80% of the gun. Left front web of triggerguard with "44" marking. Matching serial numbers on bottom of frame, triggerguard and butt. No number on cylinder, rear face of which is marked "L" between two chambers. No number on barrel. Loading gate numbered 2538. Grips are somewhat ill-fitting contemporary replacements and there was no pin added to the frame to index them as the gun was made for one-piece grips. Kidney shaped ejector rod head, ejector housing may be a more modern replacement. Still an attractive engraved Single Action for a reasonable price.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
