I wish it were mine, but it is For Sale
I borrowed the photo for illustration....
My plan is to add Ivory to my 2nd. Gen BP Colt, I've had it nearly 30 years.
It will have a R&D conversion and join my Opentop as my main match shooter.

here is the skinny...
Colt model 1862 Civilian (Conversion) revolver, rimfire. The serial number is 102XX found on the frame, barrel, and backstrap. The backstrap, and trigger guard are silver plated brass, with much of the original silver plating still in evidence. The revolver is stamped: Barrel, ADDRESS COL. SAM L COLT NEW YORK US AMERICA. Frame, PAT. JULY 25 1871 over PAT. JULY 2 1872. The serial number normally found on the cylinder is absent due to pitting in that portion of the cylinder; not consistent with the condition of the metal of the remainder of the revolver. Inspection of the wedge finds no serial number. The metal that replaces the cap-n-ball loading lever is fit so well that you have to look close to see it at all. The revolver is a rimfire conversion. The revolver function well but there is excessive headspace due to age and use. The grips are either Ivory or horn.
