This compact firearm is chambered in .22 caliber, as indicated by the “22 CAL” stamp on the frame. It features a brass frame, a blued or darkened steel barrel and a 7-shot cylinder. The dark wooden two-piece grip panels are secured by a single screw on each side. Markings on the barrel read “COLT’S PT.F.A. MFG. CO. / HARTFORD, CT.

The brass frame shows expected age-related patina and minor surface wear. The wooden grips have various nicks, scratches, and a glossy, worn finish. The front sight appears discolored or possibly a replacement.
