Description:

Manufactured in 1863. The '62 Police is regarded by many as one of the most attractive of all Colt percussion revolvers. "L" is stamped next to the matching serial numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard and back strap; this marking is usually used to denote revolvers sent to England, but it does not have British proofs.

Rating Definition:

Fine with original finish, smooth gray and brown patina where the finish has flaked or faded, attractive aged patina on the silver and brass, a ding on one chamber, and general fairly minor wear. The grip is good with moderate edge and handling wear. Mechanically fine.
