#250017. The pistol is in good overall condition with a 5” octagon barrel. The pistol is a silver patina with light pinprick pitting noted. The barrel address is clear and legible. The barrel has been polished at some point however, the edges remain sharp. The pistol retains significant cylinder scene with mars and dents to the cylinder noted and the Colt Patent markings visible. All visible serial numbers match with the exception of the wedge which appears to be a period replacement. The wedge is loose and will require replacement of the insert. The action functions and all nipples are present, with one being partially broken. The pistol features brass straps which have gone to a pleasing patina and very good grips which show small mars and compressions but fit well and retain the majority of their finish. The butt shows some knackering from being used as a hammer. (Antique) Est.: $500-$1,000.
