Box, Paperwork & Accessories: Included is a Colt cardboard outer sleeve box, showing rough condition and losses of end flaps, we do not have the end label for the box that describes the gun shipped in the box. The box is in POOR condition. Also included are the two foam inner halves, showing some compression and light oil staining. The paperwork is attached to the foam, the plastic baggy is opened at one end. Please see our pictures.

Our Assessment: We get quite a few colts in this shop, but rarely see an 8″ eNickel revolver. The box looks like it has been through a battlefield, missing the end label. The gun has been Moderately used judging by the dragline in the finish. Our guess is that when this gun was bought the excitement of the purchase was too overwhelming to contain and the box was torn open to get to the gun. The gun was well enjoyed and taken care of. The box, though torn and tattered, was set aside, just in case it was ever needed…
