US Colt 1860 Conversion Ainsworth Inspected
Description:
Offered for sale is one (1) US Colt 1860 Conversion, Ainsworth Inspected with all matching assembly numbers. An excellent reference book titled "A Study of Colt Conversions and Other Percussion Revolvers" by Bruce McDowell will be referenced in this listing. From page 144, McDowell states "(1) 1,126 Model 1860 Colt Army Revolvers were converted by the Richards system for the U.S. Ordnance Department. (2) All U.S. Richards Army Conversions were done under contract at the Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company. (3) A minimum of 1,153 Model 1860 Colt Army Percussion Revolvers were returned to Colt's by the Ordance Department to be converted for metallic cartridges by April 21, 1871." An interesting table from McDowell's book on pages 143-144 list the parts/cost to complete the US government order. Major parts included 95 frames, 239 barrels, 950 stocks, 950 cylinder, hundreds of small parts, and thousands of screws. Offered for sale, this "US" Colt Richards Conversion has a "US" Richards frame #93257, and assembly #926. All Richards conversions had assembly numbers that matched throughout the revolver. Assembly numbers had no relationship with the guns serial number. The U.S. Richards were not found in the converted pecussion range, 180000 to 200000, or in the serial number range of the original metallic cartridge models, 1 to 5000. Their frame numbers will generally be found between serial numbers 23000 and 144000. U.S Richards' frames are found in both three-screw and four-screw types, and all but 130 new frames were cut for stock. This example is 3-screw cut-for-stock. As seen in this gun, the Ainsworth "A" mark and the Colt factory inspector mark "P", were applied at Hartford. All frames are stamped COLTS/PATENT, no U.S Richards' had patent dates or U.S. stamped on their frames (Colt Conversions, McDowell p148-157). A "US" stamp was applied to the left side of the barrel lug, slightly in front of and above the wedge. When these were sold from the military, all the "US" markings on the left hand side of the barrel were purposefully ground off, and this gun reflects that. This gun does retain all of the Ainsworth markings. O. W. Ainsworth (1814-1875) was an early US inspector of military guns. This example retains 15-20% of the original nickel and still retains a lot of the cylinder scene. Front left trigger guard bow is stamped 44cal. Action is in time and locks up tight in all cylinder notches. Entire address line is strong and clear. Barrel has been shortend and crowned to 5-5/8" and with the front sight properly installed, no doubt done in period of use. Ejector rod spring not original, appears to be made of copper wire. A very nice example of a scarce US martial Colt with period alteratioin. For sale in Lower 48 states USA. Shipping & insured $45.
