Serial no. 119110, caliber .22 long rifle rimfire. This is a well-done conversion done outside of the Colt factory. The original cylinder was used and all of the serial numbers match except on the wedge which is not marked. The 7.5? octagonal barrel has an excellent bore. The front sight is a dovetailed bead. The scene was removed from the cylinder, but the serial number is still clearly legible. The barrel address and frame markings are in fine condition. The metal retains about 60% of an old reblue mixed with steel gray patina. The brass gripstraps have an attractive ocher patina and the refinished one piece walnut grip shows only minor wear. Made in 1862, this is an unusual and very well-done conversion.

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