Checkered wide spur hammer, serrated trigger, serrated back strap and a shrouded ejector rod with the deeply counter bored shroud. Fitted with the original checkered walnut grips with gold Rampant Colt medallions.

Fine. 75% original blue finish remains with areas of edge wear, cylinder drag line, and numerous small scratches. The grips are also very good with moderately worn checkering, small dings, and a small chip absent the toe of the right panel. Mechanically excellent.
