Desirable and Scarce Cased Colt London Agency Black Powder Single Action Army Revolver in .450 Boxer

Manufactured in 1877. The top of the barrel has the Colt Pall Mall London one-line address. The left side of the frame has the three-line patent dates marking. The caliber marking "45 CAL/B" is stamped on the left side of the trigger guard. Per R.L. Wilson in "The Book of Colt Firearms" just over 3,400 standard Colt SAAs were chambered in .450 Eley/Boxer. London proofs are stamped on the underside of the barrel and behind each cylinder chamber. The ejector rod has a bulls eye head. Matching serial numbers are on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. The partitioned case has a Colt London paper label on the interior of the lid, cartridge block holding 24 rounds of Eley .450 cartridges, cleaning rod, James Dixon & Sons oiler, and "L" shaped screwdriver.

ConditionExcellent, retaining 90% plus original nickel plating with dark spots of flaking visible on the cylinder flutes. The grip is also excellent with some minor handling marks and nearly all original varnish remaining. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with minor handling/storage marks and typical high spot wear on the lining.
