CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, both an outstanding and historic Lot 8 U.S. Cavalry Model Colt Single Action Army. The revolver retains over 75% of the original blue and casehardened finish and has some thinning and fading from age and use, what Kopec referred to as “moist holster damage” on the cylinder leading to some pitting near the serial number and within the flutes, and minor dings and scratches. The grip has some “tack-driving” marks on the butt mainly on the right but is otherwise very fine with minor handling wear, an excellent cartouche, and distinct “A” stamp on the bottom left. Mechanically excellent. Provenance: General Thomas Warren Bennett; Bennett Miller Grove;
The Hartley Family; Property of a Lady.
Estimate: 85,000 - 150,000
