New York Engraved Colt Black Powder Single Action Army Revolver with Holster

Originally manufactured in .44 rimfire and then period converted to centerfire .44-40 W.C.F. by modifying the hammer and swapping the cylinder. The revolver features a period New York floral scroll engraving on a punch dot background accented with cross hatching, star burst, double line and fan motifs. The .44-40 chambered cylinder, cylinder pin and cylinder pin screw are replacements. The period shortened barrel has the one-line Hartford address. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent dates marking, and the left side of the trigger guard is marked "44 CAL." Matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard, back strap and barrel. Comes with an unmarked open top leather holster.

ConditionVery good, with 50% of the period retailer applied nickel plating remaining on the barrel, ejector rod housing, frame and grip straps, otherwise a smooth gray patina. The replaced cylinder has a smooth dark patina. There is some scattered pitting. The engraving is mostly crisp. The grip is very good with typical hairline age cracking and some minor handling marks. Mechanically needs work as cylinder does not lock properly. The holster is fair.
