This is a First Year Production Colt Model 1862 Police Revolver. Widely believed to be the most aesthetically pleasing of all the Colt percussion revolvers. Many of these were later converted to metallic cartridges making these scarce on todays market. It has a 4-1/2” barrel with a 5 shot fluted cylinder chambered in .36 percussion. This is a well used firearm displaying numerous handling marks on the barrel and cylinder while still having a strong barrel address. There is a small chip at the bottom of the grip on the right side, with not many other handling marks the grips are in very good condition. Mechanically it is still in perfect condition with solid timing and lockup. This Colt comes with a period correct holster that is fitted to the gun. No Colt collection would be complete without a Colt 1862 Police Model.
