Condition: "Excellent. The revolver retains 90% plus of the bright original high polish commercial blue finish. There is some edge wear on the top strap and at the muzzle and along the top of the ejector housing. The rear sight, top of the hammer, frame screws and trigger retain most of the niter blue finish. The markings and serial numbers are sharp. The left grip has faded to a brown and the right grip has most of the black finish. Both grips remain in excellent condition with sharp checkering. The bore is mirror bright and the action is crisp and functions perfectly. This is an exceptional example of a rare Colt Single Action Army Flattop Target Model revolver." RIA
