Overall the gun is in remarkable shape for a first generation Colt.
Mechanics: The action functions perfectly. The springs are strong and the lock up/timing is very tight. We did not fire this handgun.
Our Assessment: This is an exceptional example of 1928 production Colt Single Action Frontier Six-Shooter Model revolver. This gun has all matching serial numbers, and much of the original finish remaining. A fine addition to any collection of early Colt Revolvers.
