#277888, cal. .45 Colt, 4.75″ barrel, the bore with some leading that should clean to very good. The metal has been refinished in nickel-plating with gold-plating on the cylinder, hammer, ejector rod and housing, trigger and hammer. The barrel address and patent markings are not visible. The trigger guard number is weak but matching and the backstrap has no visible number. About all of the plating remains with minor fine pitting under the finish of the frame. The mechanism works well and the cylinder locks up tightly. The two-piece grips are elk horn and are in excellent condition. This Colt was made in 1906 and looks great with these grips.
