The top of barrel is absent of the address, the left side is marked (restamped) "38-40" and the left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three patent dates in a banner followed by the Rampant Colt in a round panel.

Rating Definition:

Fine as custom embellished and refinished with 90% gold finish remaining showing some thinning on the muzzle, high spots and on the front strap. There is some pitting under the finish on the front sight and area around the front sight on the barrel. The grips are excellent. The markings and engraving are crisp. The action has a hair trigger and functions fine otherwise.
