Description:

Manufactured in 1902. The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 6 inch barrel in .41 caliber and shipped to E. G. Shields, Insular Purchasing Agent, Manila, Philippine Islands. Marked: ES Manila c/o J. H. Threw, New York in February 10, 1902. It was 1 of 350 guns in the shipment. This revolver has the standard two-line address on the top of the barrel and the caliber designation on the left. The left side of the frame is marked with the three-line/three-patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt, with a "bulls eye" ejector rod head, large half moon blade front and frame notch rear sights, blue finish with casehardened frame, niter blue trigger and hammer (polished sides), and is fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the tops and "808" on the undersides. The matching serial number is marked on the frame, trigger guard and back strap, and the assembly number "112" is on the loading gate. Provenance: The TTT Collection

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% of the bright original blue, niter blue, and vivid case colors with some light edge wear, a few scratches, and a small patch of pitting at the bottom of the left recoil shield. The grips are also excellent with crisp checkering and only light handling/storage marks. Mechanically excellent with clear markings.
