CONDITION: Excellent, retains 95% plus original blue finish on the barrel and
cylinder, 85% plus vivid original case colors, some areas of scattered smooth
brown minor surface freckling on the balance, minor finish wear around the edges
of the muzzle, highly attractive untouched bright golden patina on the brass, and
an absolutely crisp cylinder scene. The grip is also excellent and retains most of
the original glossy outer varnish finish, with some light lower edge wear, general
small scratches and dings, and nice figure and grain. Mechanically excellent. As a
highly attractive experimental prototype directly out of the Colt factory collection,
this would make an immense statement in any advanced Colt firearms collection!
Provenance: The Colt Factory Museum Collection; The Robert Q. Sutherland
Collection; The Robert E. Peterson Collection; The NRA National Sporting
Arms Museum; The DBJ Collection.
Estimate: 110,000 - 160,000
