Exceptional Early Production Blue and Silver Finish Colt Open Top Pocket Revolver with Rare Factory Box

Manufactured in 1871, the first year of production. The standard two-line address is marked on top of the barrel flanked by Maltese crosses. The matching serial number is marked on the butt, bottom of the barrel lug, and rear face of the cylinder. It is fitted with a pair of smooth antique ivory grips with each panel hand numbered to the gun on the inside. Includes a rare factory box labeled for "Colt's Seven Shot Pistol". Provenance: The George S. Lewis Jr. Collection

ConditionVery fine, retains 90% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth brown patina. Retains 85% of the original silver finish which shows an attractively aged patina and the balance an attractively aged brass. The slightly shrunken grips are fine with a few scattered hairline age cracks. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with some mild wear and some minor separation at one corner of the lid.
