Manufactured in 1884, this is one of only approximately 2,150 of the five-shot configuration House Model revolvers produced. This example was shipped to Colt's London Agency and has British proofs on the lower left of the barrel and between the chambers of the cylinder. "COLT HOUSE 41" is in an etched panel on the left of the barrel and "A" is on the left of the frame. Visible numbers match including inside of the right grip panel. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration as well as shipment to Colt's London Agency on 22 April 1886. Includes a brown leather holster with a Maltese cross tooled on the belt loop. Provenance: The George S. Lewis Jr. Collection

Very fine, retains 90% plus of the original nickel finish with some scattered light spotting, light edge wear, and light handling marks. The etched panel remains crisp. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. The cylinder does not turn when the hammer is cocked, otherwise mechanically functions. The holster is very fine.
