Manufactured 1871, this rare variation of Colt's "Cloverleaf" revolver is fitted with both an extremely scarce 4 inch barrel as well as an incredibly unique experimental ejector rod. This example is the only one with either feature that the writer has ever seen, with this one possible being the only one in existence that features both. The matching serial number is on the butt, bottom of the barrel, and inside both grip panels in ink. Provenance: The Charles Marx Collection

Very good, with strong traces of original finish, some scattered light spotting/oxidation, attractively aged brass, and some light wear and handling marks on the grips. Mechanically functions fine, hangs up intermittently.
