Manufactured in 1892. Demascus finished barrels with a concave matte solid rib marked with the Hartford address and single brass bead front sight. 2 3/4 inch chambers, choked full/modified without ejectors. The casehardened box lock action features border line engraving with the engraving extending to the forearm hardware, break lever and trigger guard.

Checkered forearm with a ebony tip insert and a round knob pistol grip stock with a silver initial oval and the Colt hard rubber buttplate. Length of pull is 14 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel retains 40% of the original Damascus finish with overall fading and spotting from age. The solid rib shows a ding at the muzzle end. The action and forearm hardware have aged to a smooth gray patina with some traces of brown and spotting. Very light oxidation is visible where the forearm touches the barrels. The wood is good showing marks and dings from handling. It appears to have been freshened at some point. The buttplate is chipped on the left side near the heel. The checkering remains crisp and with some light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
