97. Super Extremely Rare Colt Berdan Rifle in 45-70 Caliber! This is one of only twenty manufactured in circa 1869- survival rate is unknown (30,000 were made for the Russian Contract in .42 Berdan caliber). Some features of this rifle that differ from the Russian contract examples include the following: Colt barrel address is in English, "H. BERDAN'S" is stamped atop the breechblock, correct rear sight graduated to 1100 yards, lack of finger rest on the lower tang and longer breechblock. Col. Hiram Berdan's rifle became the first cartridge rifle produced by Colt and was instrumental to the survival of the company following the Civil War. Overall near excellent condition, smooth clean metal has turned to a dark blue-plum patina, excellent bright shiny bore, correct ramrod is present. Near excellent walnut with virtually all original varnish intact. Correct 32.5" barrel bears 'N0. 22' near the breech and a '22' is also on the underside of the breechblock. This is the first Colt Berdan Rifle I have owned in cal. 45-70 and I doubt that I'll ever encounter another! Antique.

Overall very good plus with fairly clean metal. Rear of barrel is a thinning blue gray patina, front of barrel is a dark blue plum brown patina. Magazine retains considerable darkening blue which is starting to turn a plum blue patina. Louis D. Nimschke engraved in his pattern 'A' style ( see page 48 of Wilson's L.D. Nimschke Firearms Engraver book). Typical scrolls with punch-dot background along with banners, shell and other geometric motifs. ' L. D. N.' appears within a motif behind the trigger. A tiny 1/2 inch vertical crack is barely visible on each side of the upper frame in the area of the breechbolt face. This is the reason Winchester beefed up the forward frame in short order. Brass corners are slightly rounded but overall the engraving is fairly crisp. Walnut is quite nice as refinished. There are a couple of dings at the rear of the forearm and the toe of the buttstock has been expertly repaired. Wood lightly sanded and nicely refinished- fairly full fitting- just a bit undersized near the upper and lower tangs. Excellent markings and all numbers match. Engraved flatsides are rarely seen on the market.
