This is an excellent example of a Colt Model 1917 revolver. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address/1884 to 1905 patent dates and the left side is marked "COLT D.A. 45" with the Rampant Colt on the left side of the frame. The upper left side of the frame ahead of the hammer is marked with an "eagle head/S18" inspection mark. The butt is marked ""U.S./ARMY/MODEL/1917/No/104/879". The frame and crane are marked "258700". Fitted with smooth walnut grips and lanyard swivel on the butt.

Excellent. The revolver retains 99% plus original blue finish with a couple areas of minor spotting on the barrel and some light spotting on the cylinder. There is a faint drag line on the cylinder. The grips are excellent with a couple tiny dings on the lower edges and overall light handling marks. The markings are sharp. The action is excellent.
