.44 caliber. 8" round barrel length. SN: 131490. Single action revolver with hammer notch and coin blade sights. Blued metal finish with brass triggerguard, and case hardening to frame, lever, and hammer. One piece walnut grips are martially marked with what appears to be a William Anderson Thornton boxed "WAT" cartouche to left grip, and John Taylor boxed "JT" cartouche to right grip. Item features a 6-shot round cylinder with Texas Naval scene roll-marked, and 3-screw frame with stock cutaways. Markings include single line New York address to top of barrel, and Colt's patent marks on left of frame. Item is marked with an "H" to bottom of triggerguard, and serial numbers to bottom of frame, triggerguard, barrel frame, and arbor. Wedge is marked with non-matching serial number "6856". Item has martial marked grips, but does not appear to have any inspector marks most likely due to the amount of pitting and wear overall. Serial number on bottom strap of grip also does not have a visible serial number due to heavy pitting and wear. Item also appears to have a replaced screw on frame. Manufactured in 1863. Action is functional. Revolver comes with detail photographs and provenance letter signed by Togia marking scholar Wendell Grangaard of The Guns of History, Incorporated. He claims to have identified the togia markings "Many Trails Minneconjou" inscribed in the wood grips and gripstraps. According to Grangaard's research, Many Trails was part of Sitting Bull's group that returned to Fort Sully in 1876 so that he could die in the lands where he had been born. Condition: Fair. Bore is dark. Finish has heavy pitting overall, and both blued and case hardened areas have a deep grey-brown patina. Brass finish has spots of brown patina and scratching. Wood grips have scratches and mars scattered overall, with cracking to bottoms. There is also a large corner loss to right grip, and small loss to left grip. One of percussion cap nipples is partially broken. There is a slight wiggle to cylinder lockup. Frame is missing wedge screw. Action is functional.
