Description:

Produced in 1856. Brass bead front and hammer notch rear sights, with "ADDRESS COL. COLT LONDON." on the top flat, "COLTS/ PATENT" on the left side of the frame, and London crown "V" and "GP" proofs on the barrel lug and between the nipples on the cylinder. Matching numbers are present on the barrel, loading lever, wedge, cylinder, cylinder pin, frame and grip straps. Fitted with a pair of smooth grips.

Rating Definition:

Very good, with 20% of the original blue finish, concentrated in the protected areas of the barrel, showing a mixed brown patina overall. Strong case colors are present on top of the loading lever, with the remainder a mixed gray. Some light handling marks and edge wear is visible overall. One of the "V" proofs on the cylinder is double-struck, otherwise the markings are good. The grips are good, with some rounding of the heel and toe, mild varnish loss and a few pressure dents. Mechanically fine.
