Manufactured in 1904, this revolver features factory floral scroll engraving with a punch dot background on the barrel sides and frame sides.

There is a sunburst design on the recoil shield and top of the back strap, and a shell design on the loading gate. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and the left side of the frame is marked with the two-line/three-patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt in a circle. The upper left rear of the trigger guard is marked with the number "5". The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and back strap. Standard blade front and frame notch rear sights, all nickel finish and fitted with factory pearl grips with a relief carved steer head on the right panel.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The metal surfaces have a gray patina with traces of original nickel finish in protected areas. There are a number of small dents on the underside of the barrel and lower rear of the ejector housing. There is some very minor pitting on the cylinder. The grips are also very good with a 1 1/4 inch by 1 inch repair visible on the upper left panel, a couple of minor age cracks on the left panel and a few minor chips on the upper right panel. The markings and engraving are clear. The action is excellent.
