Serial No. 15982, 272345. This is a 4-3/4" .45 long colt early black powder frame. The serial number was polished off at time of engraving and gold wash. The trigger guard and back strap have mixed numbers, and no number on the cylinder. The entire gun has after-market engraved and gold washed. First generation hammer has been re-blued. Has a set of pewter steer head grips. Three clicks but locks up tight. Very good frosted bore. This is an antique with the pre-1898 frame, even though there is no visible serial number.
