Blade front and 3-leaf folding rear sights, with the American eagle on the bolster, "1862" on top of the chamber, "V/P/eagle head" on the upper left flat, and "STEEL" and "EPR" on the left flat. The lock plate is marked "1864" to the rear of the hammer, and "U.S./COLT'S Pt F.A. Mfg Co/HARTFORD Ct" ahead. Smooth straight grip stock, with a tulip head ramrod, three screw-secured "U" barrel bands, sling swivels, a pair of boxed cartouches opposite the lock, and a "U.S" marked buttplate.

Very good, showing a mixed brown applied finish on the barrel, with areas of gray, scattered handling marks, and some pitting. A darker brown is present on the hammer and lock plate. Stock is fine as revarnished with filled areas on the forearm, minor chips and scratches. The cartouche is fine. Mechanically fine.
