Manufactured in 1909. The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 5 1/2 inch barrel in .44-40 caliber, nickel finish, pearl grips, and factory engraved including "Frank Moore" on the back strap when shipped to F. A. Wilder (address unknown) on May 17, 1909. The identities of F. A. Wilder and Frank Moore are not certain, but there was a Frank A. Moore (1844-1918) who was an Oregon senator and the 17th Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, a police officer named Frank Moore in Hartford, Connecticut, and a Dr. Frank Moore who was appointed superintendent of the New Jersey State Reformatory that year and began work on March 15th. The factory engraving consists mostly of floral scrollwork and covers about 75% of the metal surfaces. Zig-zag line motifs are featured on the ejector rod housing, top strap, cylinder, trigger guard and back strap. Floral motifs decorate the recoil shield and loading gate. The back strap has the factory inscription: "FRANK MOORE." The engraving is similar to known patterns by Cuno Helfricht and his shop. The barrel is stamped with the one-line Hartford address inside a fancy banner on top and "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER 44-40" inside a scalloped banner on the left side. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent dates inside a banner followed by a circled Rampant Colt. The left side of the trigger guard has a Colt triangle proof and "W." Fitted with plain pearl grips.
