SN 74816. Cal. 44 Colt. Blue & color case hardened with 7-1/2; bbl, full front sight and 1-line block letter address. Etched panel scene is fully discernible on left side of bbl. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and 44CF caliber marking on left front web of trigger guard. Mounted with very nicely figured, carved steerhead 1-pc ivory grip. SN was observed in usual places on bottom of frame, trigger guard & butt strap with last four digits of SN on bottom of bbl, under ejector rod housing and on outer diameter of cylinder. This revolver was produced in 1882 during the period of the great westward expansion where Colt was king on the frontier.

Metal overall is gray/brown with only traces of orig blue in protected areas; markings are still bright and discernible including etched panel which is discernible; there are numerous small nicks & dings on bottom of bbl; ivory stocks are fairly well fit with several chips on uncarved grip as can be seen in photos that do not affect aesthetics.
