- Lot Description
Colt Model 1862 Police Revolver. An extremely nice Colt 1862 Police Revolver in percussion, serial number 9630, manufactured in 1862, retaining much original blue finish, mixed with brown. It has a 5- shot cylinder, and 4 ½ inch barrel, and is in .36 caliber. These were very commonly carried by officers in the US Civil War. Dimensions: 4.5 inch barrel, and 10 inches long overall. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $25.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
Very good shape, with a number of minor dings in the metal, especially around the wedge. There is a chip missing from the left grip. The gun retains much original blue, faded and mixed with brown. The brass lacks its silver plating, and the grips show wear. The action is crisp, and the timing is perfect. Most of the screws have been slightly banged up. Witherell's strives to provide as much information and photographs as possible but encourages in-person inspection by bidders. Condition statements are only for general guidance and should not be relied upon as complete statements of fact and do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Witherell's.
