Description:

Only around 2,100 of these "conversions" were manufactured around 1877-1878 using a mixture of remaining Model 1860 Army parts and newly manufactured components. These revolvers were manufactured alongside the Single Action Army and are believed to have seen significant use in the Old West. The serial number is within the separate conversion range and is marked, full and partial, on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, and cylinder. The barrel has a German silver blade front sight, ejector mounted on the right, and "COLT'S PT. F. A. MFG. Co. HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A." on top. The cylinder has the standard naval battle scene. The frame has 1871 and 1872 patent markings on the left, "44 CAL" marked on the left of the trigger guard and assembly number "954" marked on the loading gate. With a leather holster rig. The front of the holster has a tooled monogram.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining 60% original nickel plating with the balance a classic smooth dark brown patina associated with a lifetime of authentic service. Most of the cylinder scene remains. The grips are also fine and show similar working gun character with high edge wear from spending time in the hand. Mechanically excellent. The holster rig is good. A true survivor of the post-Civil War era.
