Scarce British Proofed Colt Lightning Slide Action Medium Frame Saddle Ring Baby Carbine in .32-20

Manufactured in 1899. The barrel has the two-line Hartford address/patent dates and a carbine rear and blade front sights. The left side of the barrel is marked "32 Cal" along with British proofs and the number "300". There is one British proof and the Rampant Colt on the left of the receiver. All of the markings have been white filled, with various levels of retention. Mounted with a two-line bordered smooth forearm and smooth straight grip stock with carbine buttplate.

Rating definitionVery fine, retains 80% original blue finish with the balance a mottled smooth brown and grey patina. There is some edge wear and some scattered minor dings and scratches. The sides and rear of the hammer show vibrant case colors with the top being worn bright. The wood is also very fine with some handling marks, and some chipping visible near the upper tang at the frame juncture. Mechanically excellent.
