The "{Rampant Colt}" logo appears to left slide behind cocking serrations. Comes with one magazine marked "CAL. 32/COLT" on floorplate. Some weakness to marks on left slide.
Condition:
Fine. Bore is bright with some patina to rifling near muzzle. Blued metal finish is strong with slight edgewear to slide and some flecked patina forming to frame behind trigger.

Magazine bluing is strong overall with hardening near feed lips. Action is functional but magazine safety nonfunctional.
