Rinaldo A. Carr Sub-Inspected U.S. Colt Cavalry Model Single Action Army Revolver

Manufactured in 1890, this revolver is one of the U.S. Colt Cavalry Model revolvers in the serial number range 131187-140361 that were inspected by Ordnance Sub-Inspector Rinaldo A. Carr and has managed to survive in its original Cavalry Model configuration. Carr's sub-inspector "R.A.C." mark is found on the frame, barrel, cylinder, and bottom of the grip. Carr's script letter cartouche (traces) is on the right side of the grip. The left side of the grip has a partial outline of a script letter cartouche. The top of the barrel has the one-line Hartford address. A "K" Colt inspection mark is stamped below the serial number on the trigger guard and back strap. "P" proofmarks are stamped on the cylinder and barrel. The left side of the frame has the three-line patent dates marking followed by "U.S." Matching full or partial serial numbers are on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder, and barrel. Provenance: The Thomas Whiteman Collection

ConditionVery good, retaining traces of original blue finish and faded original case colors overall, mostly visible in the protected areas with a smooth brown-gray patina on the balance. The re-oiled grip is also very good with faint cartouche on right side, traces of inspector initials on butt, edge wear and series of dings also on the butt. Mechanically fine.
