Offered is a U.S. Calvary Ainsworth inspected Custer era single action revolver. Features full or partial serial numbers on the following: frame, barrel, trigger guard, backstrap, and cylinder. The Ainsworth inspector mark can be found: under the barrel, trigger guard, cylinder, and backstrap. Features: one piece walnut grips that fit well, but no visable cartouche. Barrel legends are clear and partially restamped. There is areas of scatter pitting on barrel, top of frame, loading gate, and cylinder. A wiped on finish has been added to homogenize the eye appeal, giving the gun a fairly even appearance of brown patina. Left side of frame has the two line patent address with U.S. stamp. Indexes and locks up correctly. Has a fairly clean and sharp bore with minor residue. Overall a very presentable, matching number, Custer era Colt.
