This revolver was manufactured in 1856. The top barrel flat is marked "COLT'S PT./1855" followed by "ADDRESS COL. COLT/HARTFORD CT U.S.A." with the pointing finger and Maltese crosses. The cylinder is roll engraved with the Cabin and Indian Fight scene and marked "COLT'S PATENT/No 13584" (faint). All blue finish with casehardened hammer, loading lever and fire blue trigger. Pin front and frame notch rear sights, and fitted with a smooth one piece walnut grip. The matching serial number is stamped on the butt, barrel and cylinder. The revolver is in a wooden case with velvet lining, which also holds an eagle powder flask, an Eley cap tin, a Colt's patent marked two cavity bullet mold with iron sprue cutter, and a key.

Very fine. The revolver retains 70% original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance. Limited light pitting is present with most of the cylinder scene remaining. Traces of original case colors remain on the loading lever and hammer. The grip is also very fine with two small chips missing from the front near the bottom and a few mild handling marks. Mechanically fine. The case is fine with two hairline cracks present on the lid and faded original lining showing high spot wear.
