The frame is crisply-stamped in small lettering ''COLTS / PATENT'', the frame and hammer show strong case-hardened colors particularly along the back of the hammer and both sides of the frame with the balance showing attractive smoky remnants of color and silvery patina. The trigger, wedge and a number of screw heads still show brilliant fire blue . The backstrap and triggerguard retain about 95% original silver finish showing a few areas of thinning and minor flaking to ocher brass and a few areas taking on a pleasant tarnish.
