bbl., blue/casehardened finish, walnut grips. Offered here is a Rinaldo A. Carr sub-inspected U.S. Colt Cavalry Model Single Action Army
revolver that was manufactured in 1890. These Carr sub-inspected Cavalry Models are in the serial number range 131187-140361. The top of
the barrel is roll-stamped with address “COLT’S PT. F.A. MFG. Co. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A.” in “elongated block” letters. The left side of the frame
is roll-stamped with the Colt three date/two-line patent markings followed by the “U.S” property mark. The Sub-Inspector’s initials “R.A.C.” are
stamped on the underside of the barrel, the bottom of the frame above the serial number, and on the side of the cylinder. “P” proof marks
are stamped on the underside of the barrel in front of the “R.A.C.” sub-inspection mark and on the side of the cylinder. The full serial number

ejector housing and on the side of the cylinder. The letter “K” is stamped on the trigger guard and butt. Both sides of the grips have outlines of
cartouches. The base of the left grip is stamped with the number “16,” likely a rack number.
CONDITION: Fine. The barrel and ejector rod housing retain 70% original blue finish, the frame retains strong traces of original case colors
in the protected areas, otherwise the revolver has a brown-gray patina on the balance. Revolver has proper factory polishing marks that are
visible on either side of the front sight. The grips are good with slight traces of cartouches, high edge wear, and a few minor circular dings on
the butt. Mechanically functions but hammer has only three clicks.
