The wedge and cylinder are both marked, "531" and the cylinder retains a visible Rangers and Indian scene. "COLTS / PATENT" was also noted on the left side of the frame. Mechanically very good, the steel parts exhibit a brown gray patina while the brass shows as brownish yellow. The one piece walnut grips retain about 10% original varnish with expected dings and dents.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Large Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
