Standard "COLTS / PATENT" marked case hardened frame. Silver plated brass square back trigger guard and grip straps. Grips are smooth 1-piece walnut.

CONDITION: Fine. Barrel retains the majority of its fading factory blue with edgewear and some cleaned oxidation spots, the right side shows more significant fading. Cylinder displays a sharp scene with traces of blue. Portions of case colors visible on the left side, the right largely faded to patina with some patterning. Grips have some light wear and minor impressions with an added coat of finish. Strong, well defined bore with some areas of oxidation. Crisp mechanics. Matching numbers observed throughout. Wedge stamped with both the last three digits of the serial number as well as that of another gun, both appearing to be factory applied. Case and accessories rate fine. Liner shows expected fading. A very nice set.
