Lot 275A: COLT SAA REVOLVER .44/40 FACTORY LETTER/HOLSTER/BELT/BADGE/MEXICAN NATIONAL R.R. INSCRIBED

This very rare circa-1892 Antique Mexican Railroad-marked Colt Frontier Six Shooter in .44/40 caliber w/ a 7.5″ barrel displays an originally blued finish & case hardened frame that has now toned mostly to a gray silver finish with old bone grips. The Colt is factory role marked to the left side of the barrel “Mexican National R.R.” & comes complete with a factory letter- referenced belt & holster in addition to an original Texas/Mexican Rwy/Police badge included (NOTE: in our opinion, this period Blackington Badge Co.-marked octagonal, five point cut out star nickel finished brass badge is correct to the period). One could say “extremely rare” in the sense that factory letter information shows that on January 12, 1892, a shipment was sent to the Mexican Railroad of just 12 guns, which INCLUDED this revolver, & was shipped with a holster & money belt. The consignor notes that over the ensuing years, only one other revolver from this shipment has turned up, with both the belt & holster having been lost to time and the barrel on that example had been cut to 6″. It is noted that these two references are from the Gun Report Magazine, July 1958, page 22 and the Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia by Cochran, page 267. The revolver itself remains in excellent mechanical condition with only minor deformation to the screw slots; markings are clear including the number “08” on the butt strap.The holster and belt appear unmarked but are consistent with Chicago manufactured examples. The money belt is in very good to fine condition and the holster, with four added small Mexican conchos, is very good to near fine. The grips show fractional shrinkage, no real losses and a lovely vertical group of striations. All four hammer clicks register well with good action and a fair to good bore. One would be pressed to find & handle another example of a Mexican Railroad Colt Single-Action, much less own one!! (Pre-98; No FFL Required)

Restored to excellent condition by restoration expert, Tommy Haas Sr. (active from the late 1950’s until his death in 2004).

This Colt U.S. Cavalry Single-Action Army revolver appears to be in near perfect condition as restored with all correct early features and markings while showing only the lightest, near imperceptible thinning to blue finish near the muzzle. Grips are a modern rendition of the old-time steerhead carved examples from the Old West and fit well remaining extremely iridescent with no losses or shrinkage. Markings are sharp, action is crisp & bore is excellent. IMPORTANTLY, included is a copy of a Colt Factory letter confirming the caliber, finish, Barrel Length & Type of Stocks “Not Listed”, Shipped to H&D Folsom Arms Company, New York, New York, date of shipment June 1, 1876, 1 of 39 same type guns in shipment. Under “Remarks: As noted above, the records do not provide information with regard to the barrel length of subject revolver or type of stocks. However, this is usually an indication of a 7-1/2″ barrel length and walnut stocks as these were considered standard issue for that time period. We trust you will find the historical information , retrieved from the original Colt shipping records, to be of interest.”. In our opinion, this is as close as anyone will get to what a mint perfectly brand-new Colt Single-Action looked like 150 years ago. (Pre-98; No FFL Required)
