Manufactured in 1871. Brass bead and hammer notch sights, with "-ADDRESS COL. SAM COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-" on top of the barrel, "COLTS/PATENT" on the left side of the frame and "36 CAL" on the left trigger guard shoulder. Matching numbers are present on the barrel, wedge, loading lever, cylinder pin, cylinder, frame and grip straps. Fitted with a Texas Navy roll-engraved cylinder and a smooth one-piece walnut grip.

Very good. The steel components show a mixed brown and gray patina overall, with mild dings and spotting. The brass has been lightly cleaned, with well aged brass still remaining on the protected surfaces of the trigger guard and a bright brass overall. Grip is fine, with some heavy varnish loss on both sides of butt, dings and scratches. Timing is a bit off, otherwise mechanically fine.
