This is a fine example of a Colt Single Action Army revolver chambered for the scarce .44 rimfire cartridge. Colt manufactured approximately 1,800 .44 rimfire Single Action revolvers between 1875 and 1880. These revolvers had their own serial number range and had a distinctive hammer with rimfire firing pin secured by two pins and a rectangular hammer slot in the frame. The ejector rod has the correct "bullseye" head and the hammer has bordered knurling on the spur. This left shoulder of the trigger guard is stamped "44 CAL", and "44" is stamped on the underside of the barrel ahead of the cylinder pin. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the first style block address utilized on .44 rimfire revolvers above serial number 400. The left side of the frame is roll-stamped with the Colt 1871/1872/1875 patent dates in three lines. A Colt "C" sub-inspection mark is stamped in the hammer well, and on the barrel behind the ejector housing stud. The full serial number "1696" is stamped on the bottom of the frame, trigger, and back strap, and the side of the cylinder. The assembly number "48" is stamped on the inside of the loading gate. The revolver has a blued barrel with casehardened frame, and hammer. The cylinder is blued as is the trigger, trigger guard and back strap. The one-piece walnut grips are oil rubbed and may be replacements. This firearm appears to have been re-blued and re-case hardened at some point, however it was very well done. There is minor wear to the bluing on the barrel. Serial #1696. Manufactured 1874.
