Fitted with checkered grips with Rampant Colt impressions at the top. Includes a box that has been numbered to the gun.

Excellent overall. 97% plus original parkerized finish remains with a few light handling marks and faint traces of edge wear. The grips have just a few very small dings. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with corner and edge wear.
