Manufactured in 1856. The barrel has a brass cone front sight and the New York City address. The left side of the barrel lug has a small "T", the left side of the frame has "COLTS/PATENT/U.S.", and "L" and "G" are marked on the left side of the trigger guard. The cylinder has the classic Naval Battle of Campeche scene. Aside from the wedge ("1999"), matching serial numbers are found throughout the various metal components. The grip is very nicely figured walnut with a varnish finish.

Very good plus with traces of original blue and casehardened finish, 40% original silver plating, smooth gray and brown patina on the balance of the iron along with some flash pitting, attractive aged patina on the brass and silver, and generally mild overall wear. The attractive grip is very fine and has attractive flame figure, light edge wear, hammering marks on the butt, and some dings and scratches. Mechanically fine.
