Exceptional Factory Engraved Colt Open Top Pocket Spur Trigger Revolver with Highly Desirable Wexell & DeGress Grips and Factory Box

Manufactured in 1875, the top of the barrel is marked with the standard Colt two-line address flanked by Maltese crosses while the left of the frame is marked "22 CAL". The frame, barrel, and cylinder have flourishes of floral scroll and zig-zag line engraving. The full serial number is marked on the butt and bottom of the barrel lug. It is fitted with a very attractive pair of Wexell & DeGress silver grips with floral motifs on the left along with the 1874 patent marking, and a lion motif on the right. Includes a scarce factory box marked for "COLT'S/SEVEN SHOT PISTOL" and "NICKEL PLATED/FULL ENGRAVED" end label. Provenance: The George S. Lewis Jr. Collection

ConditionExcellent, retains 90% plus of the original nickel finish with a few scattered patches of light spotting and crisp engraving. The grips are excellent retaining most of the original silver finish with some light high spot wear. Mechanically excellent. The box is good with some moderate wear.
