Colt manufactured only approximately 15,500 of these revolvers from 1847 to 1850. This revolver was manufactured in 1850. The top barrel flat is marked -ADDRESS SAML COLT/NEW-YORK CITY-" and the frame is marked "COLTS/PATENT" on the left side. Matching numbers on the frame, barrel, cylinder and grip straps with the last three digits of the serial number on the barrel wedge. The cylinder has the stagecoach holdup scene and "COLTS PATENT/No. 13164." The square back trigger guard is marked with the letter "J" on the left side. Fitted with a varnished walnut grip.

Very good. The revolver has a mottled gray patina with some of tool marks present on the side of the barrel. The cylinder retains most of the roll-engraved scene. The grip straps retains 60% original silver plating. The grip is very fine with a few minor handling marks and high edge wear with most of the varnish remaining.
