The barrel has the one-line address on top and "(BISLEY MODEL) 32 COLT" on the left side. The left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three patent date marking followed by the circled Rampant Colt. Matching numbers are marked on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The rear face of the cylinder has the matching last three digits ("479") of the serial number. The revolver features pinned front blade and dovetailed rear sights, all blue finish with the exception of the casehardened hammer, and distinctive flattop frame. No factory letter is available to writer at time of description, but it appears authentic.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus, retaining 20% original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The replacement grips are good showing heavily worn checkering. Mechanically excellent.
