#11472, cal. 44 centerfire, 7″ barrel, the bore with good rifling, a shallow ring and some light corrosion. The metal has matching assembly numbers, the grips fit well and are not numbered. The cylinder has the early scoop type flutes and the butt has a lanyard ring. The engraving is the typical punch dot and cut leaf pattern style with a large Mexican eagle with snake on the left side. About 15% of the original nickel plating remains with the balance either cleaned to bright or left having a dark gray patina. Most of the barrel lettering is legible and the engraving rates very good condition. The grips show small chips at the butt and have very nice color. The mechanism works well but the cylinder stop engagement is not very positive. This is a great looking Old West Six Shooter with a more advanced design than the Colt Single-Action Army.
This is an antique revolver and will transfer with no Federal restrictions. RR Auction COA.
