Manufactured in 1876 with the standard two-line address on top of the barrel, "COLT NEW 22" on the left in an etched panel, patent date on the bottom, and serial number on the butt. It was engraved by a period retailer after being received from Colt. It otherwise has standard features as well as a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with molded flourishes of floral scroll at the bottoms and Rampant Colts at the tops.

Very fine, retains 80% plus of the period retailer nickel finish with some scattered mild flaking exposing an attractively aged brass and crisp engraving overall. The grips are very fine with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
