Colt Single Action Army revolver, .44-40 caliber, 4-3/4” barrel, blue and case hardened finish, hard-rubber grips, serial #354771. The single-action shows Colt Frontier Sixshooter .44-40 rolled die marking on left side of barrel, with high shark-fin type front sight, and two-line barrel address, which is all correct for late production .44-40. The barrel and ejector rod housing show 92-98% original blue, just some slight thinning at the edges. The cylinder shows 80-90% original blue, with some losses at the edges and an index line between the cylinder stops and some minor scratches. The frame shows 80-90% case hardening, naturally aging and toning with some good strong rainbow colors. The backstrap and triggerguard show 90-95% original blue, just slightly drifting on the backstrap. The cylinder is numbered to match, the hammer is correct late type with polished sides and blued back. The grips are a close fit but not exact and are probably replacements. The markings are sharp, the action is crisp, the bore is near excellent. A hard to find late .44-40. Est: $3,000 - $6,000
