Manufactured in 1903. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line Hartford address, "COLT DA 38" on the left side and the three line, three patent dates on the left side of the frame followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the frame, trigger guard and back strap, with the assembly number "222" on the loading gate. Casehardened frame with blue remaining parts, blade front and frame notch rear sights, "Bull's-eye" ejector rod head and fitted with smooth two-piece pearl grips.

Very fine. The revolver retains 80% original blue finish with scattered minor flaking, some high edge and normal usage wear on the high edge of the ejector housing and back strap, with some scattered minor scratches and dings. The frame retains 75% original case colors with areas faded to a smooth dove gray. Most of the original bright niter blue finish remains on the hammer and trigger with normal wear on the contact areas. The grips are very good with a few minor chips on the bottom edges. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is fine.
