Manufactured in 1862 and subsequently New York engraved. The revolver features very nice broad floral scroll and punch dot engraving in the style of Master Engraver Gustave Young. The engraving covers the rear and upper sides of the barrel, frame, trigger guard bow, butt and upper and lower back strap. There are floral patterns amid the scroll designs and the characteristic wolf head hammer engraving. The top of the barrel is marked "--ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW - YORK U.S. AMERICA--" in a scallop bordered panel, and the left side of the frame is marked "COLTS/PATENT". The complete matching serial number is marked on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, and back strap and the cylinder pin is numbered "563". The cylinder is roll engraved with the Texas naval scene and is restamped with a mis-matched number and the wedge is mis-matched. The barrel and cylinder were blue with casehardened loading lever, frame, hammer and silver plated brass trigger guard and back strap. The revolver is fitted with a smooth one-piece grip. Complete in a wooden case with inset brass shield on the lid, red velvet lining with a William Read & Sons dealers label affixed to the inside of the lid. The case has six compartments and comes with a partially full Eley Bros. cap tin, an unopened original 6 count container of combustible envelope cartridges made by Colt's Cartridge Works, Colt iron two cavity bullet mold, a hunting dog and game bird powder flask, and an iron "L" shaped screwdriver/nipple wrench.
