serial #105307, 44-40, 7 1/2'' barrel with a bright excellent bore showing a little subtle oxidation speckling or slight frosting and otherwise crisp rifling throughout, the barrel likely a proper factory replacement showing correct black powder-style rifling. This 1887-made revolver has undergone a masterful restoration retaining about 97-98% excellent quality bright blue and vibrant case-hardened colors, the only noticeable loss due to a few light handling marks along the top of the barrel and bow of the triggerguard. The trigger and screw heads show lovely fire blue and the etched ''COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER'' panel along the left side of the barrel has been wonderfully restored as well. The Hartford address remains strong and the three line patent dates along the frame are very fine, probably refreshed during the restoration. The left side of the triggerguard shows ''44 CAL'' marking and the matching serial number along the frame, triggerguard and backstrap are the original factory serial numbers showing some mild softening along their edges from the restoration. The smooth walnut grip rates excellent and the action is crisp and seems to function well mechanically. The included factory letter indicates the revolver shipped blued with 7 1/2'' barrel in 44-40 on April 1, 1887 to Manzanares & Co. of Las Vegas, New Mexico Territory in a 25-gun shipment. This is a beautifully restored Frontier Six Shooter for the Colt or Western arms collector, shipped to one of the best known and important purveyors in the territory.
