Manufactured in 1890. Two line address on the top of barrel with a roll die caliber marking on the left side of the barrel. Three line patent date on the left side of the frame with a Rampant Colt logo. Gun works in both single and double action. Numbers match on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, and the cylinder. Two piece ivory grips. This is a very interesting gun, because the back half of the gun looks New York or possibly factory engraved while the barrel is engraved by a different hand. It is not quite the same pattern and is a much deeper engraving. The gun is profusely engraved in a floral and vine motif with punch dot background. The engraving is very well executed. CONDITION: Gun retains virtually all of the aftermarket nickel finish. The grips have been repaired in 3 spots. Fair bore with some frosting in the lands and grooves. REW
