CONDITION: Very good. The revolver displays attractive mottled
gray and brown patina and mild pitting throughout the iron components, aged patina on the trigger guard, a replacement loading lever and other smaller parts (seven screws, bolt, hand, trigger/ bolt spring), distinct scene on the period swapped cylinder which retains a solid safety pin, mostly legible markings, and moderate overall wear. The undersized replacement grip has a chips and repairs at the toe, mild edge wear, and some minor cracks. Mechanically fine. This is a highly desirable example of a historic U.S. Colt Model 1847 Walker revolver and featuring an interesting marking linking it to Andres S. Viesca, a Mexican Republican general and the governor of Coahuila.
Provenance: The David Leeds Ingalls Collection; Property of a Gentleman.
Estimate: 140,000 - 225,000
