The revolver comes in a Colt case lined in royal blue velvet with a nipple wrench/screwdriver, an empty cap tin, a two cavity bullet mold, a powder flask, and the original box numbered to the gun. CONDITION: Excellent as professionally embellished, all of the high polish blue finish remains with only a few light handling/storage marks along with some minor surface oxidation on the underside of the forcing cone and top of the cylinder pin. The wedge has some minor marks on the thin side. The casehardened components retain all of the bright fiery case colors. All of the bright nitre blue finish remains on the screws and wedge. The grip is excellent. The case and accessories are excellent with only some minor scattered handling marks. The box is good with edge wear, creases, and tape.
