Item Description: Translate description
serial #2021, 38 CF, 7 1/2'' octagon barrel with a very good bore showing some light pitting and oxidation with strong rifling throughout. This interesting and well-executed cartridge conversion has 12 cylinder stops like the early Richards conversion but is otherwise quite a bit different with conversion plate affixed with two screws and the loading cutout on the right bolster and cutouts for ramrod assembly neatly filled in with pewter. The firing pin is secured with a small bushing and the hammer face was neatly modified to strike the firing pin, still retaining the rear sight groove. An early second model square-back triggerguard revolver was utilized and the metal surfaces have mostly toned to an honest medium gunmetal and mild gray-brown patina showing some remnants of light oxidation and old pitting. The original markings are intact showing New York barrel address flanked by lines and small ''COLTS PATENT'' on the left side of the frame. The cylinder scene is partially visible and the triggerguard and backstrap are a mild ocher patina with remnants of silver finish remaining around the guard. The smooth walnut grip rates very good with moderate edge wear and a small chip at the left toe. The cylinder is numbered ''1986'' and the remaining parts are matching including the wedge. Barrel-to-frame fit exhibits a little play and the action remains quite crisp and seems to function well mechanically. This is actually a very nice period conversion with plenty of frontier character. (13B11896-180) {ANTIQUE} (2000/3000)
