Bbl shows 2-line New York bbl address, reading from right side. SN's match on frame, bbl, wedge, arbor, trigger guard, backstrap, and cyl. Cyl is marked "Colts Patent" over the SN. Grips were not removed, but fit very well and appear orig. PROVENANCE: Collection of Daniel C. Scott. CONDITION: Very good for this model. Revolver is a smooth gray-brown patina overall, with some roughness on the bbl lug by wedge, and around recoil shield. Bbl address is sharp. SN's are sharp. Colts Patent mark is sharp. Trigger guard and backstrap retain 90% silver plate. Cyl has clear Colts Patent and SN mark, but no cyl scene remains.
