A really pleasant brown 44-40 Single Action manufactured in 1882.  The gun has all matching serial numbers.  The number is found on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, outside circumference of the cylinder and on the barrel, underneath the ejector housing.  The barrel address is complete as is the three line patent dates on the frame.  There is also a tiny 44 stamped on the bottom of the barrel, just in front of the cylinder pin and 44 CF stamped on the left front post of the trigger guard.  The cylinder pin is the original, which has the small hole drilled in the front.  The grips are authentic Colt of the period and look nice but probably are not originally from this gun.  The barrel still has good rifling and the action is quite nice, rotating effortlessly and locking up correctly.  An unmolested 7 1/2 inch 44-40 Colt Single Action with an original pair of Colt wood grips.  SOLD!!
