Item Description: Translate description
serial #151939, 38 CF, 7 1/2'' octagon barrel with an oxidized bore showing good rifling. This revolver has been cartridge-converted during the period of use and is equipped with a conversion plate at rear, brass spacers added at barrel breech and around the arbor and spring-loaded firing pin mounted in a brass housing. The conversion plate is secured with a pair of large peened-over pins and the work is very ''frontier'' in nature, competently executed while still being rather endearing. The metal surfaces have toned to an honest deep gray-brown patina showing some scattered old dings and pinprick pitting, the backstrap and triggerguard a pleasant rich ocher patina, the bow of the guard showing a slight bend from an old impact. The Colt markings are mostly strong and legible though the cylinder scene has mostly been lost to the years. The smooth walnut grip remains in very good condition showing scattered old abrasions, a repaired chip at the left toe and lightly carved initials on the right side. The number on the cylinder is no longer legible though the remaining parts are matching including the wedge and the action is only partially functional with a good hammer but timing and lock-up are off. An interesting period conversion with plenty of character for the antique arms collector. (13B11896-154) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
