Manufactured in 1881 and has brown bold twist Damascus pattern barrels with a smooth concave solid rib marked with the one line Hartford address and fitted with a single bead front sight. The casehardened action is marked "Colt's Pt. F.A. Mfg. Co." on each side with simple line bordering. There is also simple line engraving on the forearm hardware, break lever, and trigger guard. It is mounted with a checkered walnut forearm with ebony forend insert and a round knob pistol grip stock with a silver initial oval and smooth steel buttplate. 2 3/4 inch chambers, choked modified/modified with an extractor.
