Antique Colt First Generation Single Action Army Revolver with Factory Letter

Manufactured in 1898 with standard markings and features, and matching numbers on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap, loading gate numbered "482", and partial serial numbers hand marked on the inside of each grip. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration (grips not listed), as well as shipment to Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. of Chicago on 21 October 1898.

ConditionVery good, retains strong traces of original blue finish and case colors in sheltered areas with the balance a mottled grey-brown patina with a few patches of very light surface pitting on the left of the barrel. The grips are good with some minor handling marks and moderate wear. Mechanically excellent.
