This Third Generation Signature Series Walker reproduces the defining features of the original 1847 pattern: a large open-top frame, 9-inch barrel, and 6-shot .44 caliber cylinder. The revolver is a single-action percussion design with a fixed bright metal front blade sight and a traditional wedge with retaining screw.
It wears a period-correct finish combination: color case-hardened frame, hammer, and loading lever, paired with a blued barrel, cylinder, and backstrap. A brass square-back trigger guard and a one-piece walnut grip complete the classic configuration.
Markings include "ADDRESS SAML COLT NEW-YORK CITY" on the barrel top and "US 1847" on the barrel lug. Matching serials are observed on multiple major components, aligning with collector expectations for Signature Series production quality.
Assembled under license by Colt Blackpowder Arms Co. in Brooklyn, New York (1994–2002), this revolver represents the finite production of the Walker pattern within the Signature Series. The model reference weight is approximately 4 lb 9 oz, consistent with the robust dimensions of the Walker design.
