Manufactured in 1874. The top of the barrel is marked "COLTS HOUSE PISTOL/HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." flanked by Maltese crosses and the top strap is marked "PAT. SEP.19, 1871." The matching serial number appears on the butt, front cylinder face and bottom of the barrel. Standard integral blade front sight and frame notch rear sight. Colt only manufactured approximately 7,500 of this four shot variation.

Excellent. The revolver retains 97% plus original nickel finish with some minor cylinder rotation wear, and some scattered minor dings and scratches. The grips are very fine with some high point wear and some minor nicks and dings. The markings are crisp and clear. The action tight.
