Manufactured in 1861 and later one of approximately 6,500 converted c. 1873-1875. The barrel has the standard one-line address, "COLTS/PATENT" marked on the left of the frame, "36 CAL" on the left of the trigger guard, and the stagecoach hold up scene roll engraved on the cylinder. Matching visible serial numbers including "709" partial number on the cylinder. Includes a period leather flap style holster.

Very fine, retains 85% plus original nickel plating and much of the nitre blue on screws with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina, some scattered mild flaking of the nickel plating, and a few scattered patches of light pitting. The grip is also very fine with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent. The dry leather holster is very good with moderate wear and torn flap retention strap.
