Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We did not fire this revolver.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: The original box is provided. The end flap of the box matches the description and serial number of the revolver. The interior Styrofoam is in Very Good condition. The exterior box shows tatters at the corners and a few tears but is in Good overall condition.
Our Assessment: Here is the one that got away, a third gen. Colt .45 with fabulous grips. The fit is so sharp, that we would assume these to be factory, though the box is not marked. There is little if any use/wear evident on the revolver and it is quite possibly unfired since leaving the factory. This is the standard f the industry, for literally over a century.
