1872 Open-Top Revolvers
Although it
appears to be a conversion, the model 1872 Open Top was Colt’s® first
revolver specifically manufactured to fire a cartridge. Since Colt did not
use percussion revolver parts, the revolver was manufactured as an entirely
new model, first with Navy-sized grips, later with Army-sized grips. All
come standard with case-hardened frame and blue barrel finish. Nickel finish
frame and barrel are available; add N00 to model number. |
