Very Fine Documented Scarce 5 1/2 Inch Barrel Colt Frontier Six Shooter Etched Panel Single Action Army Revolver with Holster and Factory Letter

The factory letter lists this revolver in .44-40 with a 5 1/2 inch barrel and nickel plated finish and as shipped to Pribyl Brothers in Chicago on July 9, 1887, as one of a pair. The barrel has a blade front sight, "44" on the bottom, and the "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER" etched panel on the left. The frame has the top strap groove rear sight, niter blue screws, and the three-line patent marking on the left. "44 CAL" is on the left side of the trigger guard. The loading gate has assembly number "935." Matching serial numbers are on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. A lightly tooled double loop holster with "44" and "113" marked on the loops is included. Ignatius M. Pribyl and Joseph A. Pribyl operated Pribyl Brothers in Chicago c. 1880 to 1905 and were cutlery, firearms, and sporting goods dealers and importers. Provenance: The General Sam S. Walker Collection

ConditionVery fine with 70% untouched original nickel plating with most of the loss due to flaking on and around the cylinder and muzzle, strong original niter blue on the screws, and generally minor overall wear. The etched panel is worn but visible. The grip is also very fine with strong original finish, mild lower edge wear, and some light scratches and dings. Mechanically fine. The holster is very good with mild wear.
