The left rear of the frame also depicts four teepees in a prairie panel scene. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address, "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .44 SPECIAL" on the left side and the tow line, three patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt are on the left side of the frame in a decorative panel.
