Description:

Manufactured in 1911. Fixed sights, with the roll-stamped "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER" on the left side of the barrel, 2-line Hartford address on top, and the two-line, three-date patents next to the circled Rampant Colt on the frame. Matching numbers are present on the grip frame, with a pair of checkered Rampant Colt imprinted grips.

Rating Definition:

Good, with 40% of the original blue finish, showing areas of gray patina, particularly on the grip straps, multiple turn lines on the cylinder, some shallow pitting on the muzzle and light edge wear and handling marks overall. A small jagged chip or iron is absent from the frame right next to the ejector housing, with traces of original color, general silvering/fading, and mild spotting. The oversize grips are fine replacements, slightly oversized with some dings and scuffs. Mechanically functions fine, although the hammer spring is weak.
