Description:

This revolver was manufactured in 1861 and appears to have been sold on the commercial market since there are no visible government markings. The barrel has a post front sight and "-ADDRESS COL. COLT LONDON-." The cylinder has the standard patent marking and navy roll scene, and the frame has the standard patent marking. Matching serial numbers are found throughout. The butt has hand scratched letters, including "ET" and "S."

Rating Definition:

Good. The revolver has aged patina on the brass and a blend of gray and brown patina on the iron as well as some mild oxidation and pitting and various minor marks. The grip is also good and has a series of semi-circular marks, mild edge wear, and a notch in the right side near the toe. It is mechanically fine and has mostly clear markings.
