Manufactured in 1862 with a four screw frame cut for a shoulder stock. The top of the barrel is marked with the one line New York address and "COLTS/PATENT" on the left side of the frame. There are small single letter inspection marks on most of the major components. There is a double struck star stamp present on the right rear trigger guard (origin unknown, possibly retailer mark). The complete matching serial number is marked on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, and the matching partial number "7607" is marked on the cylinder pin, and the wedge and cylinder are un-numbered. The cylinder is also void of the engraved scene. There are two five pointed stars stamped on the right trigger guard shoulder. Blue finish with casehardened frame and loading lever. Fitted with a one-piece smooth walnut grip with a faint boxed cartouche on each side and crude initials carved on the bottom.

Fine as period refinished with 70% of an attractive high gloss retailer applied polished blue finish with the balance brown patina. The trigger guard has a mustard yellow aged patina. The grip is good with a large chip on each toe, the above mentioned crude carving on the bottom and overall a few minor dents and dings. Unless mentioned above, the markings are clear. The action is fine.
