Manufactured in 1863, with a 3 screw frame cut for a shoulder stock. The top of the barrel has the one line New York U.S. America address flanked by dashes, "COLTS/PATENT" on the left side of the frame and the Texas naval battle scene on the rebated cylinder. Inspector initial "G" is found the left side of the barrel just to the right of the wedge screw, "B" on the right side, "G" on the front portion of the cylinder and "B" on the rebated portion, and a "D" behind the trigger guard bow and on top of the back strap. Matching serial number on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, and back strap and partial number "1242" on the cylinder, wedge and arbor pin. The grip has a visible boxed "EMC" cartouche on the lower left grip side and an illegible boxed on the lower right side. The center of the left side has had a five point star neatly cut into it and a crude "WP" scratched on the bottom.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel retains traces of thin original finish, mainly concentrated in the protected areas, mixed with a smooth mottled brown patina. There are some flashes of original case colors in the protected areas of the frame. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth mottled brown patina. The brass has been polished some time ago and is beginning to age. The grip is very good with exception of a large chip on the right heel, some lower edge wear, a few dings on the bottom and a few minor dents. The cylinder scene is mostly visible, and the markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
