Description

3/12/25 - Colt’s first ever solid frame, metallic cartridge revolver, the Cloverleaf House model represented a huge leap forward for revolver design. Chambered for the .41 rimfire cartridge, the House revolver’s fluted four-round cylinder gives it the name “Cloverleaf” due to the shape of the cylinder when viewed from the front or rear. The chambers of the Cloverleaf were recessed, a feature not to return to Colt revolvers for many years and a particularly important safety feature for rimfire guns which can have a cartridge set off by impact on the edges of the rim. About 10,000 made. This particular example is in very nice condition for its age with much bluing still visible on the cylinder and barrel. Fitted with excellent period-correct wood grips. The bore has decent rifling, but there is oxidation throughout. Fully functional, but the front sight blade is missing. No FFL required.
