Description:

Manufactured in 1881 with standard markings and features, including matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap, and assembly number "4033" on the loading gate. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration (grips not listed), as well as shipment to Hartley & Graham in New York on 6 July 1881. Includes a tooled leather "slim Jim" holster that will also fit a Colt 1878 revolver.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 70% original nickel plating with the balance having flaked to reveal mostly a smooth grey patina and some scattered patches of light pitting. The grip is fine with some scattered minor handling marks, some mild wear, and retains more than half of the original varnish. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fine with some mild wear.
