Description:

Manufactured in 1902. Fixed blade front and frame notch rear sights with the two-line address and patent dates on top of the barrel. The underside of the barrel is stamped with a combination of early 20th century British proofs and more recent German proofs. The cylinder is stamped with British "crown/V" proofs in the flutes, and the side plate has had the marking "93/572" scratched into it, the significance of which is unknown. Checkered "COLT" grips with a lanyard loop on the butt. With a leather storage case with Holland & Holland interior label and cartridge block.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. 80% plus original blue finish remains with small scratches and dings throughout, moderate edge wear, and a mostly brown patina on the grip straps. Grips are fine with small dings and some small chips around the butt. Mechanically excellent. Case is fine with dings and scuffs on the exterior and overall solid construction.
