Very nice find! Congratulations.

Very nice condition.  Lucky find and pricing, too.

Keep us informed as you continue to work with it and fire it.

Daughter is going to be here soon.  Another day of "need to be's"  SD got a lot of stuff out yesterday. 

Tried to get a photo of bore with phone......

New to me.....Original 1861 Navy R-M conversion, 38 CF.....serial places it originally being made as a percussion gun in 1868, and it places it in the numbers that were in Colt's inventory that were converted and sold on civilian market.

Bore is SHINEY!!!! chambers are un blemished, smooth patina overall, mechanically sound, good tight lock up.....best part, it's the real deal, and I paid less than what an improper Uberti would cost!!
    

Morning folks, slept in today, only gonna get to 65 today with heavy rain from the Gulf Storm effects. Supposed to get anywhere fro 2-8" before it spends itself here. Anyway, my goal for today is to stay inside, stay dry and drink coffee. Y'all be careful.

I carried a Cold Steel Skean Dhu for 17 years as my "Get off me knife" when I was working. Clan MacQuarrie here, "The Red Tartaned Army".

Good for you, Deacon.
