COLT SAA. 4 3/4" BARREL. SERIAL 191425. MFG. 1899. BLUE & CASE COLOR. GUTTA PERCHA GRIPS. Standard features include a 4 3/4" barrel with proper 2-line barrel address. All matching numbers grips are correct for this era gun but are numbered to another gun (341174), Left side of barrel stamped with roll die "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER". This Colt has all four proper clicks including a strong half cock for loading. This hog leg comes with a rig that is matching. Both the holster and cartridge belt have a number 3 stamp which would have been the model. The holster is a double loop, full skirt with border tooling. The cartridge belt has matching color tone, is stamped 34 for waist size and 940 (another catalog number). The belt measures 2 1/2" wide and will accept a .32 or .38, but a .44 will bust out the loops. Belt is also border tooled and has a nickel California clip point buckle. The rig is in excellent condition with no visible repairs, but does have some minor age cracking. CONDITION: Very good. There is no visible original finish. Entire gun is dull grey. Legends are legible. There is overall scattered salt and pepper texture, mostly on left side and cylinder. Grips have been carved out at base for some unknown reason. Rifling is visible but soft with scattered abrasions.
Provenance: Ex Ron & Linda Gillett Collection
