Item Description: Translate description
serial #75080, .44 cal, 8'' round barrel with a fair bore showing moderate oxidation, light pitting and strong gain twist rifling throughout. This revolver is composed of mismatched components and strangely the cylinder has had another set of six slots cut to give it a ''12 slot'' appearance which was present on early Richards cartridge conversions but not known on standard 1860 Army percussion revolvers as they already had the safety pins at the rear. The metal surfaces show an old cleaning mostly toning to a medium gray patina with remnants of light pitting and oxidation staining, the barrel and iron backstrap retaining flashes of reapplied fire blue. The barrel address and cylinder scene are almost completely worn away though the patent markings and safety pins on the cylinder are largely intact and the major components retain strong martial sub-inspector stamps. The triggerguard is a medium ocher patina and shows a period stamped ''US'' below the serial number and the smooth walnut replacement grip rates very fine showing some scattered light dings and worn finish. Barrel-to-frame fit exhibits some play and a number of screws, the loading lever retainer piece and the wedge are more modern replacements. The tip of the arbor shows an old repair but it appears to be matching the frame, the triggerguard is ''61342'', backstrap ''139339'', barrel ''13_563'' and cylinder ''9062''. The action is crisp and seems to function well mechanically. (13A11896-184) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)
