Manufactured in 1902. This revolver features factory scroll engraving on the barrel, cylinder and frame with a zigzag line and dot design on the top of the ejector housing. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address, "45 COLT" on the left side and the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt. Matching serial number on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and back strap. All nickel finish and fitted with pearl grips with a carved steer head on the right panel. The accompanying factory letter verifies the caliber, barrel length and factory engraving, blue finish and steer head carved pearl grips at the time of shipment to Wyeth Hardware & Mfg. Co. in St Joseph, Mo., c/o L. Hayden on October 27, 1902. Comes with a brown leather cartridge belt and loop holster with "JM" at the top.

Period replated with 75% of the nickel finish remaining. With the exception of the grip straps the nickel has a frosted appearance. There is an area of smooth brown patina on the barrel as well as some finish loss on the cylinder, recoil shield and loading gate. The grips are excellent with a couple minor scratches. Some of the engraving, mainly on the left side, is faint (due to buffing), the Rampant Colt is not visible and the patent marking is partially visible. The action is fine. The holster and belt are good with some moderate wear on the belt and some moderate age cracks and wear on the holster. The stitching is tight.
