serial #52921, 44-40, 7 1/2'' barrel with a partially bright about good bore showing scattered areas of light oxidation and pitting with generally strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this interesting 1879-made revolver retain about 90-92% of a very old antique reapplied nickel finish that shows some scattered flaked areas and old oxidation throughout the high edges toning to dark gray-brown patina and some other scattered light handling marks, the nickel taking on an honest slightly clouded appearance under bright light. The Hartford barrel address shows only some very mild softening remaining completely legible while the three-line patent dates on the left-side of the frame are crisp and the left-side of the triggerguard shows strong ''44 CF'' caliber marking. When inspected at the right angle and in the right light, the left side of the barrel still retains a visible etched ''COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER'' panel. The backstrap of this revolver is from a Model 1860 Army serial #18749 and has toned to a pleasant ocher patina. The backstrap is also factory engraved showing attractive bordering and detailed foliate scrollwork with ''E'' stamped below the serial number. Finally, the revolver wears a wonderful antique ivory grip that remains in very fine condition showing a fine patina and attractive age checks and crackling along the bases. The left side is carved with a very handsome Federal Eagle motif that shows slight edge wear and ''E PLURIBUS UNUM''. The grip and backstrap actually fit quite well and complement the revolver very nicely. The grip is un-numbered and the remaining serialized parts are matching. The topstrap sight groove has been deepened and the action will require mechanical attention as the trigger/bolt spring is broken and the hammer notches are worn. A very attractive revolver with fine character and ''frontier modification'' for the advanced Colt collector. (13D11562-1) {ANTIQUE} (5000/7000)
