This revolver was manufactured in 1862 for the English market and has the iron grip straps and the London proof and view marks on the barrel and cylinder. The included factory letter lists it as one of 24 guns of this type shipped on June 23, 1862, to Colt's London Agency with "Blue/Iron" finish. The barrel has a brass cone front sight and the "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-" address. The frame has the standard patent marking. The cylinder has the Naval Battle of Campeche scene. Matching serial numbers are found on the wedge, cylinder, loading lever, barrel, frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The revolver comes in an English style fitted case with a loading and cleaning label inside the lid, cleaning rod, L-shaped combination tool, oiler, cap tin, and large back shaped flask.

The grip is fine and has strong original finish, minor edge wear, and light dings and scratches. Mechanically fine. The case and accessories are fine and have fairly minor age and storage related wear such as some scrapes and dings.
