Description:

One of only 84 Flattop Target Single Action Army revolvers manufactured in .450 Eley. This example was manufactured in 1890 with the one-line Colt Pall Mall London address on top of the barrel, "450 ELEY." on the left of the barrel, British proofs, and otherwise standard markings and features. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration (grips not listed) including the scarce caliber which is listed as "450/c" as well as shipment to Colt's London Agency in London on 20 November 1890 in a twelve gun shipment.

Rating Definition:

Very good, retains 30% original blue finish with the balance mostly a brown patina and some scattered patches of mild pitting. The front sight has been modified and fitted with a taller profile sight. The grips are also very good with mild wear, some scattered minor handling marks, and having started to turn a slight chocolate color. Mechanically excellent.
