....Aug. 24th in Larned KS. The description mentions 7 1/2, Ainsworth inspected, but no picture. This serial number is listed on page 271, Survivors of the Little Bighorn chapter in Kopec's 'Colt Cav & Arts' by number, but as an Artillery if I'm reading it right. 5053 is from lot 5, which is prime 7th cav issue. I've not seen this gun or have anything to do with the auction. There are lots of Colts on this sale. Who knows what condition this is in or even if it is what is said, but I'm tempted to go and at least see what it looks like, but probably won't. I can't go to a gun auction without buying something and I've cut myself off till winter. Anyway, if anyone is interested, go to Carr Auction
