Description:

Manufactured in 1899, these Frontier Six Shooter Revolvers were very popular in the American West through the "Wild West" period and into the 20th century due to their ability to be paired with Winchester's lever actions that shared the same caliber. When this example was made, much of the American West remained very much "wild", with this example showing the "been there, done that" look along with western themed relief carved buffalo pearl grips well-suited for a wealthy rancher. The top of the barrel has the standard two-line address, and the Frontier Six Shooter marking is on the left. The left side of the frame has the standard two-line patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The assembly number "145" is stamped inside the loading gate. The right grip panel features the aforementioned carved buffalo head.

Rating Definition:

Fine with 70% original nickel plating remaining with gray patina and pitting associated with a well traveled trusty sidearm on the balance. The grips are also fine with a well defined relief carving. Mechanically excellent.
