Achording to the Colt Factory archive letter, this gun left the factory as a .41 Colt with a 4 - 1/2" barrel, blue finish, and with the stocks not listed. It was shipped to Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Mfg. Company San Francisco Agency, San Francisco, California, on November 4th, 1901, in a shipment of 6 guns. So it is a true Western shipped gun.

The last three digits of the serial number are on the back of the cylinder. CONDITION: This gun retains virtually all of the original factory applied blue finish. Case colors have started to fade a little. The checkering on the grips is sharp and crisp. Bore is good with well defined lands and grooves. A high condition 1877DA Colt.
