U.S.A. and the lockplates are marked Colt's Pt. F.A. Mfg. Co. The action has a pleasing smooth blue-brown finish. The buttstock is fine with a tight fit, lightly worn checkered wrist, and a couple of dents and dings, most notably on top of the butt at the rear. The checkered forearm (numbered a few numbers off from the gun)  is fine with light wear. The action is tight and it functions correctly.
