serial #26452, .36 cal, 5 1/2'' round barrel with a mostly bright very fine bore that shows some scattered light pinprick pitting and otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces show an old cleaning and perhaps some remnants of an older reapplied plum-brown finish along with some sparse smoothed-over pinprick pits and old oxidation staining. Some of the markings, namely the New York barrel address, may have been refreshed after the cleaning. The ''COLTS PATENT'' on the frame is strong, the triggerguard retains a good caliber marking and the patent date in the cylinder flute is rather soft and partially legible. The triggerguard and backstrap show remnants of silver finish thinning to mild goldenrod patina and showing some scattered old dings. The smooth walnut grip rates very good plus as cleaned and re-varnished showing some light dings and no visible number along the interior. The arbor number is also no longer legible, the back of the cylinder is numbered ''5081'' and the remaining numbered parts are matching. The action seems to function normally. The included mahogany case is of antique construction and remains in very fine condition showing a few glue repairs along the corners and lid panels. The interior is lined in blue velvet, perhaps refurbished some time ago, showing mild wear and contains a full complement of accessories including: small Federal Eagle powder flask in fine condition, multitool, dual cavity bullet mould that shows rather heavy use and pitting, key, UMC cap tin and what appears to be an original five-round packet of cartridges. A very respectable example of this desirable model in a handsome cased ensemble. (13B11641-4) {ANTIQUE} (2500/3500)
