EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of American history - the 44-40 Model 1873 six-shot single-action Army revolver, crafted by Colt in Hartford. Dating back to 1881, this walnut and nickel-plated metal masterpiece is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the 19th century American School. The revolver, with its serial number 67295, features a sighted barrel adorned with one-line Colts pt. f. a. mfg. co. Hartford Ct. USA address, while the frame proudly displays patent dates from 1872 and 1875. The one-piece walnut grips are intricately incised with three notches each, adding an exquisite touch to this already impressive firearm. Although time has worn away some of its original nickel-plated finish on the barrel, traces can still be seen on the cylinder, frame, trigger-guard, and ejector-rod housing - reminding us of its former glory as it served alongside brave soldiers in countless battles. Measuring at approximately 19cm long, this army revolver stands as both a symbol of military might and an embodiment of American ingenuity during that era. Through this expertly captured photograph by eChristies Images from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the artistry behind this weapon but also its significance within our nation's history as an iconic representation of strength and defense.
