Manufactured in 1874, this is an example of a desirable, short barrel version of the Colt "Cloverleaf" revolver. The patent date is marked in the sight groove on top of the frame and "COLT" is on the left of the barrel. The matching serial number is visible on the butt, bottom of the barrel, and inside of each grip panel. It is fitted with blade front and frame notch rear sights, checkered trigger and hammer, and a pair of smooth rosewood bird's head grips.

Fine, retains 80% plus of the original nickel finish with numerous scattered dings visible on the left of the frame and some scattered light flaking and wear revealing an attractively aged brass or grey patina. The refinished grips are very good with some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
