Description:Manufactured in 1886. The barrel has the two-line Hartford address/patent dates and a folding ladder rear sight, and the left side of the frame has a Rampant Colt. The left side of the barrel and frame at the breech have British proofs while "410" is marked on the barrel along side the Colt "44 Cal." marking. Mounted with a checkered forearm and smooth straight grip stock with carbine buttplate. The stock is stamped "*3060" near the lower tang.
Rating Definition:Fine. The carbine retains 40% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina. There is some cold blue on the center of the barrel and a few patches of minor pitting. The wood is also fine with some minor to moderate dings and scratches and a few blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
