Arms, Armor & Militaria

Very good. Bore very good, partly bright with fine black powder rifling. Metal with no finish to speak of and moderately oxidized mottled brownish gray patina with some tiny hints of original color in the most protected recesses. Markings remain clear and visible in the metal, weaker in the wood. Mechanically functional with a weak or damaged hand spring that does not always correctly advance and time the cylinder, but typically works correctly if the muzzle is oriented downward. Hammer with four crisp "clicks" when cocked. Cylinder arbor pin with some tool marks and minor damage to the end. Grip very good with some wear, leaving the cartouches soft, but showing no signs of having been sanded. Grip with good edges, some minor nicks to the leading and trailing sharp edges and some scattered impact marks. A really nice and correct example of a Colt Cavalry Single Action Army.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
