Description:

Manufactured in early 1911, these Frontier Six Shooter Revolvers were very popular in the American West through the "Wild West" period and into the 20th century due to their ability to be paired with Winchester's lever actions that shared the same caliber. The top of the barrel has the single-line address and Frontier Six Shooter caliber marking on the left. The left side of the frame has the standard two-line patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard, and back strap, and the factory documented one piece walnut grip has "13501" stamped on the butt. The assembly number "25" is stamped inside the loading gate. It is fitted with blade and groove sights and a smooth walnut grip which has been contoured slightly to better fit the hand. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration as well as the wood grip and shipment to Abercrombie & Fitch in New York on 11 January 1911. They were one of the largest sporting goods suppliers in the country at the time.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining 60% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish and 85% plus of the vibrant original case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on the grip straps and in the form of light holster type wear. The grip is very good with the contouring stated above and some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
