Rare Mexican Marked Colt Single Action Army Revolver

This an example of one of 124 Colt Single Action revolvers that were shipped to Mexico in two shipments, one in April and one in August of 1908 through M. Hartley Company of New York, New York. All of the Single Action Army revolvers had the 4 3/4" barrel and were chambered for 38 W.C.F. These revolvers were engraved "E. de Mex" (Estados de Mexico - States of Mexico), on the left side of the barrel ahead of the caliber marking. Everything else is standard on the revolver. The top of the barrel is marked with the short two-line address, caliber designation "38 W.C.F." on the left side and the left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three patent date marking followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number appears on the frame, trigger guard and backstrap. Blade front and frame notch rear sights, blue finish with casehardened frame and hammer and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the tops.

ConditionVery good. The metal surfaces have traces of original blue finish mixed with a smooth gray patina, showing some light spotting and a few very small areas of light pitting. The grips are faded to brown and remain very good with minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is fine. A rare Mexico shipped Colt Single Action Army revolver that served its purpose in Mexico and made its way back to the U.S.
