Manufactured in 1882. This U.S. service Colt began life as a standard cavalry model in 1882 and inspected by David F. Clark. During the late part of 19th century, numerous cavalry Colts were called back into service. These revolvers were made from a number of mixed parts, their barrels were shortened to 5-1/2" and were reissued to U.S. troops, many going to the Philippines for the insurrection against the Moros whom were crazed on narcotics. These guns were subsequently arsenal refinished at the time of alterations and are considered a U.S. genre of weapon unlike most rebuilds. This revolver sports the following parts: cylinder number "2763", DFC inspected with "H" and "P", barrel is stamped "0759" and "AP", frame is stamped "04086", "DFC", trigger guard stamped "138201", stamped "K" and butt is stamped "136334" and "K". The refinished, original walnut grips no longer show cartouche and are slightly shy to metal. Frame has traces of case colors, barrel has approximately 20% of the original arsenal blue and grips are excellent. Frame screws are slightly marred, still retains some Nitre blue. Fine, near mint, strong bore. Cylinder indexes perfectly but does not have the four distinctive clicks. Far above average, artillery model, well cared for and clean.
