Manufactured in 1876 with the standard two-line address on top of the barrel, "COLT NEW 22" on the left in an etched panel. The left of the frame is marked "22 CAL". The revolver has 75% coverage factory floral scroll and geometric pattern engraving. It is fitted with a blade front sight, frame top groove rear sight, and a pair of smooth factory antique pearl grips. The included factory letter confirms the configuration, including the engraving and the grips, as well as shipment to H. Krueger in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 1 April 1886.

Very good, retains 60% plus of the original nickel finish with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina, which includes most of the cylinder, or an attractively aged brass, and some scattered light surface pitting. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks. The cylinder pin latch and set screw are absent, otherwise mechanically fine.
