Colt's first entry into the large frame double action revolver market. This example was produced in 1892 in the classic .45 Colt caliber. High polish blued finish with nitre blued small parts. 7-1/2" round barrel stamped on top with 1-line address on top. Blade front sight and frame notch rear. In addition to rampant Colt logo stamp on the left side of the frame a "4" has been stamped on each side above the trigger. Bird's head butt with lanyard loop and 2-piece checkered hard rubber grips with rampart Colt logos. CONDITION: Fine. Vast majority of the factory applied high polished blued finish is retained with areas including the muzzle ejector rod housing, cylinder, trigger guard, and grip straps thinning to a gray patina. Grips are very good showing good definition with few minor marks. Very good bright bore displaying strong rifling. Crisp mechanics. BAS
