A .22-caliber rimfire 7-shot revolver offered with 2.375" or 2.875" barrel. Model was a commercial success, with over 114,000 manufactured between 1871 and 1877. Would undoubtedly been a great deal more sold had not the cheap copies begun to flood the market at that time, forcing Colt to drop this model from the line. Revolver has a silver or nickel-plated brass frame and nickel-plated or blued barrel and cylinder. Grips are varnished walnut. Cylinder bolt slots are found toward the front on this model. "Colt's Pt. F.A. Mfg. Co./Hartford, Ct. U.S.A." stamped on barrel; ".22 Cal." on left side of frame. NOTE: Blued models will bring a premium over nickel in same condition.
