Description:

Manufactured in 1892. The barrel has the one-line address on top and "45 COLT" on the left side, and a circled Rampant Colt on the left side of the frame. The cylinder is numbered to the gun.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel has cold blue touch up on the left side, otherwise the revolver retains 30% of the original bright blue with the balance mostly a smooth brown patina. There are a few patches of minor pitting. The undersize replacement grips are good with some minor dings and scratches and a few blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically fine.
