  SN 29364 is a Colt 1862 Police percussion revolver in 36 caliber with a 6 1/2" barrel.  This example was built in 1865.  This example shows a bright excellent bore.  The piece is devoid of original finish but shows clear markings.  The barrel shows spots of light pitting and staining.  The action works but hangs up on one cylinder.  There  were approximately 2800 of this model produced.  This example is matching and would be a good representative piece with the NY barrel , and sound original grips.  The action on this revolver could be improved with the installation of a replacement bolt and a proper handspring.  A revolver that can be greatly improved.
