Manufactured in 1874, this is an excellent example of a .32 RF Colt New Line revolver with a scarcely seen factory box. The standard two-line address is marked on top of the barrel flanked by Maltese crosses, and the "32 CAL." caliber marking is on the left of the frame. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the barrel, left of the grip frame, rear face of the cylinder ("338"), and in ink inside the right grip. There is a discreet "KM561" collection marking on the butt of the left grip (Karl Moldenaur Collection). It has standard features including a pair of smooth rosewood grips. Includes a scarce, correct factory box. Provenance: Karl Moldenaur Collection; Property of a Gentleman

Excellent, retains 98% plus of the original nickel finish and 95% plus of the original nitre blue with a few scattered very light handling marks and some extremely light flaking on the edges of the back strap. The grips are also excellent with only the slightest handling marks and retaining nearly all the original varnish. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with moderate wear, concentrated mostly on the edges and corners.
