Manufactured in 1899. Standard two line Hartford address with the 1884 and 1895 patent dates stamped on the top of the barrel, "COLT D. A. 38" on the left. Checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt logo in a circle at the tops. Complete with an original hinge lid black box numbered to another revolver. The blue box has a grey label on the top featuring a Rampant Colt, and image of the gun and "NEW ARMY D.A. / Model of 1894 / Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co. / HARTFORD, CONN." The blue end label is marked "4 1/2 Colt's New '94 Army D.A. Revolver .38 / RUBBER BLUE". The inside of the lid has the yellow 'Ideal" reloading label.

Very fine. The revolver shows approximately 75% original high polished blue overall with both grip straps and the back of the hammer a grey patina with some minor spotting. The balance of the gun shows high edge wear and some light speckling through out with thinning blue at the muzzle. The trigger retains almost all of the original fire blue finish. The hammer sides show discoloration. The grips are excellent showing light wear with light handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings remain clear and crisp. Mechanically fine. The box has a barely noticeable stain on the right 1/3rd of the top label, otherwise fine with some moderate edge wear.
