Manufactured in 1935, this revolver is engraved with approximately 25% coverage of open vine scroll without punch dot backgrounds. The rear sides of the barrel, cylinder flats, frame, top strap, back strap, butt and trigger guard all have flourishes of the open vine scroll engraving. In addition, the revolver features the standard barrel markings and is fitted with checkered walnut grips with silver medallions and a lanyard swivel on the butt. Deep checkering has been cut into the hammer, trigger and grip straps. The accompanying factory letter verifies the caliber, 5 inch barrel at the time of shipment, blue finish, class "A" factory engraving, lanyard swivel, grips as "Not Listed" and that it was sold to Griffin & Howe, Inc. and shipped as 1 to Abercrombie & Fitch Company in New York, New York, on March 11, 1940. Comes with a correct maroon Colt hinged lid box with correct blue end label

Very good with 95% original blue finish on the frame and cylinder. The refinished barrel retains 99% finish. A mixed gray patina is on the cylinder and back strap, and there are a few spots of bright gray on the high edges and minor handling marks overall. Grips are excellent, with light pressure dents and crisp checkering. Box is good, with some material loss and separation at the edges. Action is excellent.
