Scarce Early Italian Texas Paterson Colt Reproduction 36 Cal 9 Inch Mfg 1971

Serial #78, .36 caliber black powder percussion, 9 inch barrel with a bright, excellent bore that appears unfired.  This is a 1971 dated Italian Texas Paterson model reproduction built by Alamiro Mainardi under the name Euromanufacture which was organized that year and imported by Replica Arms with the Double Diamond logo.  In excellent condition the barrel, frame and cylinder retain virtually all, 97-99% of the original bright blue finish showing light handling marks and small scratches with a light drag line.  The hardwood grips show some finish level scratches and contusions but are otherwise excellent.  Mechanically it functions properly.  An excellent example of these now scarce Paterson replicas.  Antique
