This revolver was manufactured in 1863 and has a German silver blade front sight, "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-" on top of the barrel, standard Navy roll scene on the cylinder, "COLTS/PATENT" on the left side of the frame, "2" on the left side of the trigger guard, and matching serial numbers, including the grip which has the number hand marked along with a "W" stamp. The case also contains an two-side eagle and arms pattern flask with sloping spout, "36 B" and "COLT'S/PATENT" marked bullet mold, cap tin, and some bullets.

Rating Definition:

Very good with 75% plus of the refinished blue finish on the cylinder and barrel remaining, patches of original case colors, mostly silver-gray patina on the hammer and frame, 85% plus silver remaining on the trigger guard and back strap, and minor overall wear. The grip is also very good and has light lower edge wear and mild handling and storage marks. Mechanically excellent. The relined case is very good and has mild storage wear. The mold is fine with 40% original blue. The flash is very good with attractively aged brass.
