Manufactured in 1898. The top of the barrel is marked with the one line address, "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER" on the left side and the circled Rampant Colt is on the lower left rear of the frame. The serial number is marked on the butt, "111" is marked on the rear cylinder face and assembly number "154" on the loading gate. Blade front, frame notch rear sights, blue finish and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top and lanyard loop on the butt. The accompanying factory letter verifies the caliber, barrel length, blue finish, rubber grips and that it was shipped as one of 4 to John P. Lovell Arms Company in Boston, Massachusetts on December 10, 1898.

Very good. The revolver retains traces of original blue finish concentrated mainly in the protected areas, with a smooth mottled gray patina on the balance. Much of the original bright niter blue finish remains on the hammer and trigger. The grips are also very good with some wear on the high edges, light handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. There is some play in the cylinder, otherwise the action functions well.
