Manufactured in 1926. The top of the barrel is marked with the one line address, "38 W.C.F." on the left side and the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame and right side of the grip straps under the grip. The loading gate and right rear of the frame are marked with the matching assembly number "185". Blade front and frame notch rear sights, blue finish with casehardened frame and hammer, and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top, and the matching serial number on the inside of the left panel. The accompanying factory letter verifies the caliber, barrel length, blue finish, rubber grips and that it was shipped as 1 to Paxton & Gallagher Co. in Omaha, Nebraska on May 30, 1926.

Very fine. The revolver retains 85% plus original blue finish with some thinning to a smooth brown patina on the left side and muzzle of the barrel, edge wear and a drag line on the cylinder, and some mild thinning and spotting on the grip straps. The frame retains 80% plus original bright case colors. The grips are also very fine with a couple small dings on the bottom edge and crisp checkering. The markings are sharp. The action is excellent.
