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
