Colt SAA Revolver in .45 L.C. caliber with a 7 ½" barrel, U.S. martially marked with period one piece ivory grip, S/N 14192 and inspected by O.W. Ainsworth. Kopec letter included and he states "In my opinion it should be classified as a buy back example and mentions trace of original nickel". Kopec further states the revolver is "Totally correct and authentic in every respect". The condition is good showing a smooth gray patina with traces of original period nickel perhaps as much as 10% mixed in the patina. The markings are sharp and the edges are good showing wear at the muzzle. The grips are fair to good with some losses to the left toe and 1 large chip missing. The grips are cracked and aged and are undoubtedly the originals. The front slight has been slimmed slightly. All matching serial numbers with tight action and good bore. A very respectable and early single action once known as "Indian Scout" Colts. (Antique)
