The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 2 1/2 inch barrel in .38 caliber, nickel finish and desirable wood grip when shipped to J.C. Quinn of Providence, Rhode Island, one gun shipment, on November 20, 1884. Standard Colt factory markings including the etched caliber panel on the left side of the barrel, and matching numbers on the frame and grip straps.

Fine, retaining 70% original nickel finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The etched panel is clear. The grip is also fine with some high edge wear and some nicks in the checkering. Mechanically excellent.
