Manufactured in 1904. The back strap is inscribed: "Gene Powell. Texas Ranger Co. D." An included 1977 dated notarized statement signed by "Gene Powell, Texas Ranger" states: "I used this Colt Beasley in performance of my official duties as Texas Ranger assigned to Co. D. under the Command of Ranger Captain Woods. I have now given this pistol to my dear friend Manuel Amaya, Jr., he and I traded pistols when I first met Duval County Commissioner Manuel Amaya, Jr." A second notarized document dated December 14, 2015, and signed by "Roberto D. Garza Jr.,/Retired Texas Ranger, Company "D"/Corpus Christi, Texas" states: "I certify that I currently own this Colt Bisley, in caliber 44-40, serial number # 259707. This Colt Bisley was at once owned by my one time Texas Ranger Captain, Texas Ranger George Eugene "Gene" Powell, whom I worked for in Company "E" as a Texas Ranger stationed in Del Rio, Texas." The statement also notes that Ranger Powell served as a Texas Ranger from 1962-2001. Roberto Garza served as a Texas Ranger with 33 years of service. The revolver has a full nickel- plated finish and is engraved with the equivalent of Colt "B" engraving. The engraving closely resembles the work of the Cuno A. Helfricht shop. The revolver is fitted with two-piece pearl grips relief-carved with open scroll work on a dot background. Silver Mexican eagle and serpent national crests are attached to the top of each grip. The top of the barrel is roll-engraved with the two-line Hartford address. The left side of the frame is roll-stamped with the Colt two-line/three-date patent markings followed by the circled Rampant Colt trademark. The serial number is stamped on the frame, trigger guard and back strap.
