Colt Open-Top Spurtrigger Cartridge Pocket Revolver, #93, .22 RF cal., desirable early 2-7/8'' round barrel with ejector marked ''+Colt's Pt. F.A. Mfg. Co. / Hartford, CT. U.S.A.+'' on top in two lines, 7-shot plain round cylinder, with two-piece ivory grips. Mfg'd 1871-1877. Brass (or bronze) frame with scrolling floral engraving. Condition is very good retaining no original finish, the steel parts apparently having been chemically cleaned and showing light nicks and pitting; frame with sharp engraving. Ivory grips are near perfect, showing lovely color and fit well. Action is crisp and tight but does not revolve cylinder; bore appears clean with faint rifling. This gun is the rare, early variation having a tapered firing pin that enters the frame through a circular hole (rather than a narrow slot). Est.: $450-$650. (Antique)
