The top of the bbl. is marked with a hand engraved "COLT'S PT FA MFG Co HARTFORD CT USA", with Colt's patent information, followed by an engraved "U.S." on the left side of the frame. This example features professionally executed, near full coverage bordered scroll engraving on a fine punch dot background. Ejector rod housing features matching pattern scroll engraving on the side, and a wavy line and dot pattern engraved over the top, with the top strap featuring an intertwined line pattern on either side of the sight groove.

Nitre blued parts show some light to mild wear and thinning. Very bright bore, as refinished, exhibiting areas of dark mild pitting, while retaining strong rifling throughout. Grip is very good, showing some age related discoloration, as well as some superficial handling marks.
