Antique Colt Medium Frame Lightning Slide Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1893 with the standard two-line address/patent marking and caliber designation on the top of the barrel. The Rampant Colt is marked on the left of the frame, and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with German silver blade front and elevation adjustable notch rear sights. Mounted with a multipoint checkered slide handle and smooth straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

ConditionFine, retains 60% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina and some scattered small patches of light surface pitting. The wood is very fine with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
