Manufactured in 1862. Scarce nickel-plated finish of the period. Possibly factory, or at the least, retailer applied. The five- shot cylinder is roll-engraved with the Stagecoach Holdup scene. The top barrel flat is roll-stamped with the late, one-line, legend: "ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA". The left side of the frame is stamped with the two-line, "COLTS/PATENT" marking. Full serial number "212360" marked on bottom of the barrel lug, frame, trigger guard and back strap. Cylinder marked with partial serial number "12360" and loading lever marked "2360". All of the serial numbers match. Includes leather wrapped case (latches absent) with red velvet/purple felt lined interior, powder flask, "COLT'S/PATENT" marked bullet mold, and Winchester cap tin.
