GR-0823-4887, Exceptional Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army. 44-40. 7 1/2 inch barrel. Made in 1910, transfer will be required. One of the finest Condition Colts we have ever had the pleasure of offering for sale. Desirable 44-40 cal. Shipped to Bigelow & Dowse Company in Boston Massachusetts. Serial number 313,xxx. The frame, back-strap and trigger-guard all march. The gun letters with Ivory grips, which is uncommon for a gun shipped this late. The grips have matching serial numbers penciled on the inside of each of the 2 piece grips. There is 1 small rub spot on the barrel / ejector housing on the right side of the gun, but other than that, the gun is near perfect. 98% original blue finish. 99% bright, vivid case colors on the frame and hammer. Crisp and tight, like new mechanics. Minty bore. Untouched screw heads, all of which still have nitre blue. The gun is 113 years old and is as if it is almost brand new out of the box. Museum quality Colt. The hammer is correct and so is the ejector rod head. The gun may have never been fired, nearly all the blue is still inside of the cylinder. The assembly numbers match on the loading gate and on the frame. A gun that could be the centerpiece and a wonderful Colt collection. Excellent ++.
