As pictured and described in The
Book of Colt Firearms by Wilson
Serial
Number 1
CONDITION: Very fine as a tool-room prototype
retaining mostly a re-polished bright appearance
with a series of scratches on the trigger guard, and
scattered handling marks. The right side of the frame
exhibits a horizontal crack (possibly casting flaw)
ahead of the hammer screw which terminates at base
of loading gate. The grips are also very fine with overall
crisp checkering and much of the original varnish
remaining. Mechanically functions intermittently,
needs work.
Provenance: The Robert Q. Sutherland Collection;
The Charles Marx Collection.
Estimate: 25,000 - 40,000
