This revolver's serial number dates to 1871 and was subsequently custom embellished in the 20th century. It features detailed Gustave Young inspired scroll and punch dot engraving patterns, standard markings, and a one piece grip with carved eagle and shield motif on the left side. The revolver comes in a antique hardwood case with brown velvet lined interior divided into fitted compartments for the following accessories: Eley Bros. cap tin, several lead bullets, Colt patent "44H" dual cavity bullet mold, combination tool, packaged of Colt combustible cartridges for a "COL COLT'S PATENT/NEW MODEL/REVOLVING HOLSTER PISTOL", and a silver finished Colt patent powder flask.

Very fine as engraved and refinished. The revolver retains 98% plus of the current blue, silver, and case colors. The grip is very fine with some slight cracks and an aged cream and yellow tones. It is mechanically excellent and has crisp markings and designs. The old case is very fine as replated with stains, pressure marks, and fading on the interior and overall minor storage wear. The accessories are very good.
