Manufactured in 1902. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line Hartford address, "COLT DA 38" on the left side and the three line, three patent dates on the left side of the frame followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the frame, trigger guard and back strap, with the assembly number "482" on the loading gate. Casehardened frame with blue remaining parts (niter blue trigger and hammer with polished sides) blade front and frame notch rear sights, "bull's-eye" ejector rod head and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top. The consignor notes state that this revolver was 1 of 50 shipped to the Continental Tobacco Company for their "Catalogue of Presents".

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% original blue finish with some very mild muzzle and edge wear, and some cycling scratches on the cylinder. The frame retains 97% original bright case colors with some fading on the recoil shield. 99% of the fiery original niter blue remains on the hammer and trigger, with some light spotting on the hammer sides. The grips are also excellent with light handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are sharp. The action is functions, but does not stay cocked in the single action mode.
