This Richards is serial numbered in its own range with 1871 - 72 patented dates. Approximately 60% - 80% flaking and toning original nickel finish remains with some dark erosion where the nickel has drifted. Good sharp edges and crisp markings with strong cylinder scene. The grips retain most of their original varnish and show only normal imperfections from use. The action is good and original colors are showing on the hammer and trigger. Serial number 4424. A nice example of a early western frontier Colt.
