Description:

This revolver was manufactured in 1855 at Colt's short lived London factory. This one interestingly has the London proof and view marks on the cylinder but not the barrel. The barrel has a brass cone front sight and is marked "-ADDRESS. COL. COLT. LONDON.-" on top. The cylinder has the standard Naval Battle of Campeche roll-scene. The frame has the "COLTS/PATENT" marking. The revolver also features the round headed screws and iron grip frame typical of the London Navy revolvers. The visible serial numbers all match. The last digit on the loading lever appears to have been also stamped "9." a small "N.W.M.P." (North-West Mounted Police) plaque is included. The consignor suggested this revolver was from a cased pair with 33109 and noted that the latter is only three numbers away from an Upper Canada Militia revolver.

Rating Definition:

Very good with traces of original finish and otherwise mostly dark brown patina overall, mostly distinct markings, and mild overall wear. The grip is fine and has some dings and scratches, hammering marks on the butt, and light edge wear. Mechanically excellent.
