#187627, caliber .45 Colt, the 4.75″ barrel with strong rifling should clean to good plus, its front sight slightly altered. The gripstraps are both numbered 157431. The right side of the frame is period engraved in block lettering “Texas Prison.” All of the metal has a dark patina with clear factory markings and minor pinprick pitting. The factory hard rubber grips are worn smooth and rate good. The mechanism works well but the cylinder lock-up is a little loose. Made in 1899.
This transfers as a modern firearm. RR Auction COA.
