Colt Custom Shot. Partially engraved and supposedly the engraving in progress when the plug was pulled.

I fit the cylinder to my 7.5" Colt New Frontier 44 Special. It actually fits tighter than the original cylinder and has ideal .431" throats.

The excess scribe work was removed and the cylinder was polished. It has since been blued and I look forward to trying it out. I got the cylinder for $150 due to it being partially engraved. To me, it added character, remained 100% Colt and will simply mark the empty chamber for safe carry.
