Description:

Manufactured in 1865. Cone front and hammer notch rear sights, with "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-" on top of the barrel, "COLTS/PATENT" on the left side of the frame, and the "Texas Navy" scene on the cylinder. Matching numbers are present on the barrel, frame, grip frame, wedge, cylinder pin and cylinder. Fitted with a smooth walnut grip.

Rating Definition:

Very good, with 40% of the original blue finish (mostly on the barrel), showing areas of brown patina, scattered shallow pitting, scratches and handling marks. The cylinder shows evidence of touched-up blue, and the wedge screw is damaged. There are traces of case color and silver on the frame and grip straps. The brass shows evidence of light cleaning. The grip is a good replacement, slightly undersized and revarnished, with some dents and scuffs. Mechanically fine.
