serial #334864, 45 Colt, 7 1/2'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This fine 1916-made Colt was specially ordered with factory tuned action and checkered trigger and is also equipped with the attractive checkered walnut fleur-de-lis grips. The barrel, cylinder, backstrap and triggerguard retain about 85% original blue showing some honest high edge and holster wear toning to a mild gray patina under bright light and the cylinder showing a few scattered pinprick pits and mild operational wear. The frame and hammer retain about 90-92% nice vibrant case-hardened colors drifting to a smoky gray along the high edges and showing a little minor pinprick pitting along the left bolster. All markings remain crisp and clear and the checkered walnut grips with deeply recessed silver Colt medallions remain in very fine to near excellent condition showing somewhat worn finish and some scattered light dings. Both grips are pencil-numbered to the gun and fit the grip frame nicely and the backstrap and triggerguard are also matching the frame. The action seems to function well mechanically with a smooth crisp hammer and very good timing and lock-up. The included factory letter indicates the revolver shipped as-described on December 29, 1916 in a single gun shipment to the Powell & Clement Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. A very fine and honest Single Action Army with rare special order features for the advanced collector. (13D11523-90) {C&R} [Jim Thrash Collection] (6000/8000)
