Manufactured in 1927 with 4 - 3/4" barrel chambered in .45 Colt with blade front sight, 2 line barrel address, and frame notch rear sight. 2-piece checkered gutta percha grips featuring a Rampant Colt in an oval on either side. Inside of grips are initialed "C.A.Y.", and inside of right grip also is marked "JED 2/18/51". CONDITION: Very good, with a slight majority of the original bluing remaining with balance turned a gray patina commensurate with holster wear. Frame and hammer show brilliant traces of original case color in protected areas. Grips are very good, with checkering worn but no major signs of distress. Right grip panel has faded to a light brown. Action is tight and crisp. Bore is bright with worn, but visible, rifling.
