Arms, Armor & Militaria

Very Fine as Restored. Bore is Frosty with some light pitting and weaknesss to the rifling. The interior frame shows some light pitting, particularly the topstrap, that has been filled in with the refinish. The blued finish overall is very strong with few light scratches. The casehardened finish shows a pattern of scratches on the left recoil shield, with some further flakes on the right frame and the right side of the hammer screw. The grips show handling wear and mars with the fine details on the Eagles and the Rampant Colt logos worn down. There are some spots where the checkering has worn almost flat, and some nicks along the edges of the butt. The cylinder is without a turn ring, and the action has not been tested in order to preserve the finish.
