.44 Special. 4.5" barrel length. SN: 310467. Double-action swing-out cylinder revolver with aftermarket cut down triggerguard and topstrap notch with front blade sights. Blued metal finish overall with checkered walnut grips featuring "{Rampant Colt}" medallions. Left barrel marked "NEW SERVICE" and "RUSSIAN AND/S & W SPECIAL 44" with barrel top signed "COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A./PAT'D AUG. 5, 1884, JULY 4, 1905, OCT. 5, 1926." Left frame shows "{Rampant Colt}" logo. Triggerguard has been cut down and refinished in the manner of Fitz Special revolvers. Item itself does not display any of the additional markings or configurations of that variant. Serial number consistent with 1920 manufacture but the 1926 patent dated tapered barrel indicates that the barrel was replaced.

Very Good. bore is frosty with some spots of patina throughout. Blued metal finish shows some weakness to edges and loss of finish to underside of frame and to left frame near barrel. Continuous drag line visible to cylinder. Sides of hammer and trigger display a bright polish with some light scratches. Wood grips show weakness to checkering and some loss of fine details to medallions. Action indexes correctly and locks tightly.
