Colt 1860 Army Richards conversion to .44 Colt center-fire cartridge, serial number 2977 showing period inscription “J.W. Davidson U.S.A.” The metal surfaces show light cleaning to gray and scattered light to moderate pitting and erosion. The barrel address is good and legible and the cylinder shows about 30% to 50% light scene. The grips have been cleaned or sanded and are slightly undersized. The front sight has been slimmed slightly. The inscription is genuine to the 19th-century in our opinion and are hand engraved in script letters of the proper antique style. J.W. Davidson JW Davidson JW Davidson was a brigadier General in the United States Army during the Civil War. He was a graduate of West Point and he served in the 2nd US dragoons in the Mexican-American war and before the Civil war he served on the western frontier in many Indian battles and commanded the troops at Fort Tejon, California when the Civil War erupted. He commanded the 3rd brigade during the Peninsula campaign and fought at Yorktown, and Williamsburg. He briefly commanded the district of Southeast Missouri and later commanded a division in Frederick Steel’s Army of Arkansas. He served with distinction in the Little Rock campaign and at the end of the Civil War he was posted on the Western frontier as a Lt. Col. of the 10th Calvary commanding the Buffalo soldiers where he acquired the nickname “Black Jack.” In 1879 he was transferred to the 2nd Calvary as a Col. at Fort Custer in Montana territory. He died in 1881 from injuries suffered in a fall from a horse. Provenance on this pistol is that it was inherited by our consignor who is in his 70s and was gifted to him by his father along with a large collection that was started before World War II. This very prominent 2nd generation collector is happy to speak to the successful buyer but wishes to be of remain anonymous to the public. I have known this collector very well for 30 years and he had owned this pistol many decades before he researched the name on the back strap. Est.: $6,000-$12,000.
