Manufactured in 1854. Standard Colt markings with matching serial numbers on the frame, barrel, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder, loading lever, wedge, and arbor pin. The period partitioned case is lined in green velvet and contains a few lead balls and bullets, "COLT'S/PATENT" brass two cavity bullet mold, double sided eagle powder flask marked "COLTS/PATENT, "case key, Eley Brothers cap tin, package of five combustible envelope cartridges, and "L" shaped combination tool.

Good displaying "frontier issue" type character for a sidearm that has seen a lifetime of service in a challenging environment with the grip straps retaining 95% of the attractive aged darkened original silver plating. The grip is fine with a few minor handling marks and most of the varnish remaining. Mechanically fine. The refinished case very good showing handling/storage marks, a loose partitioned wall, and typical high spot wear on the lining. The cartridge package is very fine, otherwise the accessories are very good.
