COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY WITH SCARCE CALIBER MARKING. COLT SAA 333230 44 RUSSIAN & SPCL MODERN; C&R; IVORY Cal. 44 Russian & Spcl. Nickel finish with 7-1/2" bbl, full front sight & 1-line block letter address with Cal. marking on the left side in 2-lines "RUSSIAN AND / S & W SPECIAL" and "44". Left side of frame has 2-line 3 patent dates and Rampant Colt. Mounted with scarce 2-pc Colt medallion "certifiable pre-ban ivory" grips with large relief carved ox head on right side. Medallions are early style facing left & right. This revolver was produced in about 1916 and likely would have belonged to someone in law enforcement or a working cowboy. This appears to be an outstanding restored revolver of Tommy Haas quality, with re-rolled patent markings and Rampant Colt on the frame. PROVENANCE: The Estate Collection of Phil A. Bleakney, Jr. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Overall retains about all of its fine top quality restored finish with a few minor scuffs on the frame. Cylinder is lightly flaked but appears to be unfired since restoration. Grips are sound with a few age lines in the bottom ages, possibly artificially aged with a fine ivory patina. Mechanics are fine. Bright shiny bore. 49059-90 JR (4,000-7,000)
