Manufactured in 1875, the top of the barrel is marked with the standard Colt two-line address flanked by Maltese crosses while the left of the frame is marked "22 CAL". The frame, barrel, and cylinder have flourishes of factory floral scroll engraving. The serial number is marked on the butt and bottom of the barrel. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration apart from the grips which are listed as ivory (now pearl), including the factory engraving and half nickel finish, as well as shipment to John P. Moores Sons in New York, with no date listed.

Very fine, retaining 70% of the both the untouched original nickel and original gold finishes with some mild handling wear on the high spots of the frame and some mild flaking and light flash pitting on the cylinder. The grips are fine with a small edge chip in the bottom of the left panel and a few light handling marks. Mechanically fine.
