The left side of the barrel is marked "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .44 SPECIAL" in a banner, the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt and the matching serial number is found on the bottom of the frame and on the left side of each grip strap under the grip.
