FOR SALE or Trade: Original 1862 Colt Police Model, 'Shooter'

Relic shooter said:

This 1862 Colt with it's 6.5" barrel makes a perfect scaled down partner if you have it's big brother the 1860 Colt NMA.

This .36 cal. Colt has all matching serial numbers & remains in exceptionally nice tight condition & locks up in perfect alignment
with the bore also in excellent condition.
Serial number 31,76x indicates it was manufactured in 1865.

**Out of approximately 28,000 1862 models manufactured it's estimated 70% were converted to cartridge leaving only 8,400 in their original state.
This 1862 Colt 6.5" version is also considered the rarest model, it's estimated only 2,200 were mfg. with this barrel length.

Unlike later edition Colts & other Italian replicas, this 1st edition Colt features the original progressive twist rifling noted for superior accuracy.
The original nipples remain in nice shape, also Included is a new set of quality Treso nipples.

Online research will validate factory stampings on earlier 1862 Colts like this pistol are often struck very light & frequently lack some of the factory markings.

Photos of the 1862 Colt shown online in the NRA Museum validates factory markings that are often missing or lightly stamped.
Possibly due to trying to keep up with Civil War production ?

Photos show this pistol has all matching serial numbers & proper barrel markings but all are very lightly stamped,
the cylinder & frame are also missing the Colt stamp.
NOTE; This Colt shows no signs of being refinished.
Photos are in high resolution, zoom-in for close detail.

Later model I862's I've observed mfg. after the Civil War often have clearer markings..
I've priced this pistol at $2,250 plus actual cost of USPO Priority shipping & insurance &
prefer payment by US Postal Money Order.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
Thanks for looking.
