Manufactured in 1978 and has the standard markings and features. Only 5,207 revolvers were produced in this configuration between 1976 and 1986 compared to 14,713 in the same configuration but with blue and casehardened finish and plastic grips per the data listed in Wilkerson's "The Post-War Colt Single-Action Revolver, 1976-1986". It comes in a fitted case with purple lining and two additional trigger springs.

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% plus of the original nickel plating with some frosting in some areas, a few small marks, slight drag lines, and overall light handling/storage marks. The grips are also excellent with slight handling marks. The case is good with mild storage wear, a pin missing from the left latch which is also bent and a small stain on the interior.
