Hello Friends,
I have just acquired this Colt 2nd Generation 1860 Army Richard's Conversion to 44 Colt - Heeled. During my research, I was told that
this revolver, with additional "437" stamped next to serial numbers and major assemblies, was made by Jay Strite.
If you look closely, it has a proper Richard's Conversion Ring, that encloses around the breech of the cylinder. I have NEVER seen this
conversion Ring on any other Richard's reproduction, thus my desire to acquire it.
I am almost ashamed for what I'm having to pay for this, but it was an auction and a unique item.
