CONDITION: Extremely fine overall, appears new & unfired as factory refurbished in 44 S&W. Retains most all of its brilliant orig finish. About an 1/8″ spot of rust and pitting at end of ejector housing. Appears to be new & unfired and unturned though there is a Colt number “276” stamped on right side of trigger guard under stocks and on left side backstrap under stocks. No doubt this number represent this gun was refurbished and refinished at Colt factory but it appears indistinguishable from any new factory finished gun. There are signs of buffing on web of trigger bow when trigger guard was factory refinished where marks there are partially removed. Grips are each numbered 7262. Matching assembly numbers 1279 are found on back of frame and loading gate. Box is sound and solid with typical scuffing, cracks and tears to veneer as expected; a penciled SN on bottom of box is different than gun. 4-53929 JS49 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3129
