- Lot Description
North America, United States, New York & Connecticut, Hartford, ca. 1860s CE. A wonderful pair of 36 caliber Colt revolving belt pistols with smooth wooden panels lining the curved handle. The hammer and cylinder are of the percussive variety, and the trigger is protected by a brass guard. The revolvers hold up to six metallic cartridges and were originally designed for the US Army, however these do not have any US army marks to indicate military use. This example is the style known as "Peacemaker" with a 7.5" barrel. The cylindrical octagon barrel projects out from the solid body and has a petite sight near the muzzle. Several maker's marks adorn the pistols. The top barrel of one is roll stamped "ADDRESS SAML COLT HARTFORD CT" and the other is mostly indiscernible but stamped with "NEW YORK." The cylinder of both is roll engraved with faint numbers (both indiscernible). The full serial numbers "195874" and "98305" for respective guns are stamped on the cylinder, barrel lug, frame, forward of trigger guard and back strap. "COLT'S PATENT" is stamped faintly on the right side of the cylinder chamber. The peacemaker is the iconic gun of the West, used by sheriffs, outlaws, scouts, and cowboys; Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy, Bat Masterson, and Annie Oakley each had at least one model. A wonderful pair of iconic guns! Size: 13" L x 1.5" W (33 cm x 3.8 cm) barrel LENGTH: 7.5" L (19 cm)
Provenance: ex-Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, acquired prior to 2010
