Serial no. 98322, caliber .44. This is a standard round cylinder Army with a three screw frame and the recoil shield cut for a shoulder stock. It would have been a government purchase during the Civil War. The 8? barrel has a bore with good rifling and scattered corrosion. The mechanism works well, and all of the numbers match, including on the wedge. The cylinder retains about 20% of the scene. All of the steel surfaces have a gray patina with even fine pitting on the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The barrel address is legible, other factory markings are very good to excellent. The one-piece walnut grip has been refinished and is slightly undersized at the front gripstrap, it rates good overall and shows no cartouche. The backstrap has five filed ‘score keeping’ notches. This big Colt was made in 1863.

This is an antique revolver and transfers with no federal restrictions.
