About 40% of the case colors remain on the frame with just traces on the rammer. The hammer color has faded away. The brass trigger guard retains about 20% of its silver plate.

There is a rough letter "H" carved into the base of the right grip. This is a fine old civilian army revolver, exactly the type carried into the great American West. Stock no. 29367
