With only limited production capabilities at Samuel Colt's factories, numerous European makers began legally and illegally manufacturing revolvers using Colt's patents. Upon inspection at the Liege proofhouse, a royalty was charged and the revolver marked, in this case on the top barrel flat with "COLT PATENT", in addition to the standard Belgian proofs.

Grips have finish added, which in spots is starting to crackle, with additional scattered impressions. Good shootable bore with strong rifling. Good mechanics. Numbers matching on barrel, frame and trigger guard.
