Condition

Overall poor condition. Non- working relic with mixed parts. It is missing the cylinder rod retaining screw and front sight. The cylinder is rusted and pitted. The frame has clear Colt markings. Both the frame and trigger guard have clear serial numbers. The grips are ill-fitting. The spring on the loading gate is gone, but the gate itself is intact, but unnumbered. Bore appears in good condition though the rifling is not very strong, this seems to be from production is it is quite clean. The barrel when screwed in all the way prevents the cylinder from turning.
