This single action was just discovered in acollection near Albuquerque, New Mexico and shows roll die marked "Colt Frontier Six Shooter" on left side of barrel; the revolver is nicely engraved with deep cut Nimschke style broad scrolls, with typical geometricsand rope borders. The pistol is completely uncleaned and unpolished, and shows 30-60% finish, conservatively. There is 20-30% gold left over the silver base plate on the ejector rod housing, cylinder and hammercombined. There is some pitting where the plating has lifted, but generally very good overall; good sharp barrel address and markings, good edges, and grips are good with small losses at the corners. Front sighthas been reduced slightly; good action, good interior. An attractive and authentic engraved single action that has the untouched look real collectors love. Est.: $9,000-$18,000
