Manufactured in 1877 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. There are London proofs on the barrel and cylinder. It has standard features. Includes a leather wrapped case with Colt London Agency marking on the lining inside the lid.

Fine, retains 40% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth brown patina and a few scattered patches of light pitting. 95% plus of the original nickel finish remains with some light edge wear. The grips are also fine with a small patch of varnish worn off the right panel, and otherwise minimal handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with some light handling/storage wear.
