Manufactured in 1957, the second year of production for the Second Generation revolvers. One line address on top of the barrel, "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY 45" on the left and the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame and the loading gate is marked with the assembly number "279". Blue finish with casehardened frame and fitted with a smooth one-piece ivory grip. Complete with the original black hinged lid box numbered to the gun with correct label, original warranty card, manual and "Handling the Handgun" brochure.

Excellent plus. The revolver retains 99% plus original blue and bright casehardened finish showing a very small ding on the underside of the barrel and overall light handling/storage marks. There are a few scratches on the hammer sides from normal cycling, however the revolver appears fired very little if at all. The grips are also excellent with a very attractive grain. The box is fine with some mild exterior wear and some contact wear on the interior.
