Given their hard frontier use with limited or nonexistent maintenance fine examples retaining much of their orig finish are quite popular. PROVENANCE: Collection of Charles A. Lamb. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl retains about 60% orig blue with scattered areas of staining. Frame retains about 90% bright finish and cyl retains 10% orig finish with balance plum/silver. Brass trigger guard has crisp sharp edges with a medium mustard patina.
