This revolver was manufactured in 1875. Short two line Hartford address on top of barrel. "COLT NEW 38" in an etched panel on left of barrel. Fluted five shot cylinder and spur trigger. Knurled cylinder pin and screws on the frame done in blue. Caliber (38) is stamped on frame along with "C" below cylinder to indicate centerfire. Smooth rosewood birdhead grips. Second type with long cylinder flutes and stops on the rear of the cylinder. Made without a loading gate.

Excellent. The barrel and cylinder have 95% original nickel with some flaking on the muzzle as well as light surface scratches. All markings are crisp. The frame also has 95% original nickel with light handling marks throughout and a flasked off spot on lower rear gripstrap. The grips are very fine, retaining most of the original varnish, worn slightly on the high points and having a few minor dents on the left side. Mechanically excellent.
