Manufactured in 1905. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address, the left side "41 COLT" and the two-line, three-patent dates are marked on the left side of the frame followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. The assembly number "2930" is marked on the loading gate. Blade front and frame notch rear sights, blue finish with casehardened hammer and frame, and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top. The accompanying factory letter verifies the caliber, barrel length, blue finish, grips as "Not Listed" and that it was shipped as 1 of 2 to Norvell Shapleigh Hardware Company in St. Louis, Mo., on February 16, 1905.

Good. The revolver retains 20% original blue finish concentrated mainly on the ejector housing and in protected areas with a mottled grayish/brown patina, showing some light spotting. The grips are also good with a few minor dings and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
