Restored Colt Single Action Army Revolver
serial #27009, 45 Colt, 7 1/2'' barrel with a lightly oxidized and pinprick pitted bore showing strong rifling throughout. This 1876-manufactured revolver has been refurbished by an unknown artisan and remains in excellent condition. The metal surfaces retain about 97% restored blue and case-hardened colors, most of the loss to wear on the left side of the muzzle in addition to scattered light high edge wear and a few handling marks. The frame retains lovely restored case-hardened colors. The replacement one-piece contemporary grips rate excellent. The grip makers name is illegible although they are crafted from highly figured walnut. The backstrap, triggerguard strap, barrel, and cylinder are all correctly numbered to the gun while the loading gate is correctly assembly numbered to the frame. This gun features the early ''black powder'' frame, two-line patent dates, markings are soft but legible, and it has fixed sights. The hammer notches were recut during the refurbish, the safety notch is no longer present and the other notches have been relocated but function properly. A nice startup or display gun for the collector. (8A11795-1) {ANTIQUE} (1500/2000)
