The rear of the cylinder is marked with a Liege "E/LG" star proofmark. The cylinder has an engraved floral scroll motif. The top barrel flat is marked "COLT/BREVETE" at the breech, and the left side has a "crown/V" proof. The matching serial number is marked on the frame, barrel and trigger guard. The trigger guard also has an additional number "136." Fitted with a varnished one-piece walnut grip. The cylinder face has the "N Gilon" maker marking. A collector's number in vinyl is on the butt.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel retains 80% plus original blue finish showing high edge wear and light spotting. The frame, cylinder, hammer and loading lever have a mottled gray patina. The grip straps retain nearly 20% original silver plating with the exposed brass having an aged patina. The slightly undersized refinished grip is fine showing some minor pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
