Offered here is a Rinaldo A. Carr sub-inspected U.S. Colt Cavalry Model Single Action Army revolver that was manufactured in 1890. These Carr sub-inspected Cavalry Models are in the serial number range 131187-140361. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with address "COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. Co. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." in "elongated block" letters. The left side of the frame is roll-stamped with the Colt three date/two-line patent markings followed by the "U.S" property mark. The Sub-Inspector's initials "R.A.C." are stamped on the underside of the barrel, the bottom of the frame above the serial number, and on the side of the cylinder. "P" proof marks are stamped on the underside of the barrel in front of the "R.A.C." sub-inspection mark and on the side of the cylinder. The full serial number is stamped on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The partial serial number "3565" is stamped on the barrel beneath the ejector housing and on the side of the cylinder. The letter "K" is stamped on the trigger guard and butt. Both sides of the grips have outlines of cartouches. The base of the left grip is stamped with the number "16," likely a rack number.

Fine. The barrel and ejector rod housing retain 70% original blue finish, the frame retains strong traces of original case colors in the protected areas, otherwise the revolver has a brown-gray patina on the balance. Revolver has proper factory polishing marks that are visible on either side of the front sight. The grips are good with slight traces of cartouches, high edge wear, and a few minor circular dings on the butt. Mechanically functions but hammer has only three clicks.
