Replacement blade front sight, frame notch rear sight and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 85% plus original blue finish with wear on the muzzle and high edges, scattered thinning and minor wear giving way to a smooth plum patina and some minor spotting on the frame, as well as some scattered minor scratches. The grips have faded to brown and also remain very fine with some minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
