This Colt 3rd Model is in nearly fine condition showing scattered original blue about the barrel of about 15 - 20%. The buyer will be getting a very nice gun for the price I'm asking. The balance of the gun is in an untouched brown patina. The grips are nice and full and show good cartouches. The cylinder scene is nearly 100% visible, slightly light in a few places but all there. The only drawback to this gun are a few slight dents to the face of the cylinder where I believe that someone was attempting to dislodge balls from the chambers. Regardless, this gun is a bargain.
