The revolver also features a checkered engraving pattern on both sides of the frame at the breech, on both sides of the rear of the trigger guard and the top of the back strap which also has a shell pattern. The bottom of the front strap is signed "Wolfe". The top of the barrel has the one-line address "45 COLT" is on the left side and the left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three-patent dates.

Rating Definition:

Fine as custom embellished. The revolver retains 99% of the re-nickeled finish with only slight handling marks. The undersize grips are very good with a few minor dings. The engravings are crisp. Mechanically excellent.
