Decorated with Germanic scrollwork by Master Engraver Gustave Young. The sides of the hammer and between the wedge and screw are engraved with his signature stylized hound's heads. Four dots on top of the hammer indicate his moderate level of embellishment. The "E" near the serial numbers mark those parts as designated for engraving at the factory. The cylinder has the typical naval battle scene and "COLTS PATENT NO." The top of the barrel is marked: "ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA". "COLTS/PATENT" is on left side of the frame. "8" is stamped on the left side and "36 CAL" is on the left of the trigger guard. All serial numbers match, on the bottom of the barrel lug, frame, trigger guard and back strap. The partial serial number, "7651" is on the loading lever and cylinder. Very good condition, there is some play in the cylinder and frame, due to play in the frame pins. about 40% bluing, engraving is still crisp, checking to ivory, replaced barrel lug.
