Manufactured in 1900, the accompanying factory letter verifies the caliber, barrel length, blue finish with the grips as "Not Listed" and that it was shipped as 1 of 3 to Montgomery Ward & Co. in Chicago, Illinois on September 14, 1900. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address, the left side "41 COLT", and the left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three-patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt. Casehardened frame and hammer, blue remaining parts and fitted with smooth two-piece pearl grips.

Fine. The revolver retains 60% original blue finish with some thinning, edge wear and a smooth gray patina on the grip straps. The frame is a mix of 30% faded original case colors and smooth dove gray patina. The oversized replacement grips are fine with a minor flaw, and minor ding and light handling marks. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
