Manufactured in 1901 with a round blade front sight and notch rear. The barrel is marked "COLT. D.A. 38" on the left side of the barrel with the two line Colt address and patent information appearing on top. The frame is marked "BIA PHIL CONST" on the left side with a single "B" between the cylinder and trigger. The hammer and the cylinder release are checkered and the butt plate is marked "U.S. / ARMY / MODEL / 1901" forward of the lanyard loop with the serial number to the rear. Mounted with plain walnut grips, the left one marked with a "77".

Fine. The revolver retains approximately 50% of the faded original blue finish with some pitting and a brown patina mixed overall. Some fading near the muzzle, crane, grip straps, on the cylinder around the flutes and on the cylinder release latch. The lower portions of the grip straps are worn and show moderate pitting. The wood is very good with some few scattered gouges and handling marks. The markings are clear and crisp on all areas.
