Gold inlaid scrollwork is featured among the engraving on the barrel at the muzzle, front of the frame and cylinder. The left side of the frame has a raised gold inlaid Rampant Colt on a matte background. The right side of the frame has a raised gold inlaid bear head on a matte background. The letter "B" is marked on the left side of the frame near the trigger guard and the buffalo mark Bill Mains often placed on his work is on the front of the barrel rib.

Excellent as master embellished. The revolver retains 99% plus of the blue finish showing the slightest handling marks. The grips are excellent with limited blemishes in the overall sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
