Description:

This interesting and very high condition Colt '62 Police revolver was manufactured in 1863 during the middle of the American Civil War and but went to England given the London proof and view marks on the barrel and cylinder flutes. Aside from the "E" marked by the lower serial number and the lack of rear sight notch on the hammer, the other markings and features are standard. It comes in a fitted English case with the original Colt London Agency trade label with directions for loading and cleaning inside the lid, a cleaning rod, an L-shaped combination tool, oiler, cartridge pack, F. Joyce & Co. cap tin, bag shaped James Dixon & Sons powder flask, turned container with a pair of spare nipples inside, some balls and bullets, and a key.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 75% plus original blue finish, 95% vivid original case colors, 40% original silver plating with dark aged patina, aged patina on the brass, minor marks and scratches, and generally only minor overall wear mainly from age and storage. The grip is also very fine and has nearly all of the glossy varnish, light dings and scratches, and minor lower edge wear. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with mild age and storage related wear. Most of the accessories are very fine with minor storage wear. Overall, this is a very attractive cased set.
