Description:
This is a nice example of a Colt US single action artillery model. The action is tight and works perfectly on all 4 clicks. The frame is "US" property marked with various mixed military numbers. "DFC" inspection stamps on most of the parts and an "A" below the trigger guard number. Manufactured under the observation of Orville W. Ainsworth, the first Principal Sub-Inspector assigned to Colt by the War Department. This is a rare inspector to see. This particular gun comes with a Colt Factory Letter that states it was shipped to the United States Government on September 6, 1885, along with 100 other guns. Overall, the gun is in fairly nice condition, but the majority of the finish is gone. Some areas of light spotty oxidation and tiny pitting - most noticeable on the frame and cylinder. The grips have visible military inspection cartouches, and the left side is dated 1902, but we believe all these stamps are re-applied. The bore is really nice for its age and has great rifling. Antique, No FFL required.
