Manufactured in 1871, this is one of approximately 7,500 manufactured known as the "cloverleaf" variation, due to the shape of their four-shot cylinder. This specific revolver is a very rare variation, featuring a 1 1/2 inch octagon barrel. The left of the barrel is marked "COLT". The serial number is marked on the butt and matching serial number hand marks inside both grip panels.

Good, retains faint traces of the original blue and silver finishes with the balance of the iron a mixture of grey and brown patina and some scattered light pitting, while the brass shows an attractively aged patina. The grips are also fine with traces of varnish, mild wear, and a few scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
