Manufactured in 1903. Blade front and notch rear sights, with the two-line address on top and "COLT. D.A. 38" on the left side. The frame is marked with the three-line patent dates and circled Rampant Colt, and "224" assembly number is on the loading gate. Matching numbers are present on the grip frame. Fitted with checkered bird's head grips with Rampant Colt imprints.

Very fine, with 85% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, bright edge wear, and minor spotting and handling marks. 90% bright case colors are present on the frame and loading gate, with some silvering/fading on the high points. The grips are also very fine, with a lighter chocolate color on the left panel and some minor dents. Mechanically excellent.
