The included factory letter lists this ".22 Perfected Single Shot" pistol as chambered in .22 Long Rifle with a 10 inch barrel, blue finish and, checkered walnut gold medallion extension target grips when shipped on September 25, 1911, to Robert F. Welsh. An included letter from J.F. Kreuz states that his brother got this as token of gratitude from one of the vice presidents of the Walter Tips Co. after installing a battery operated radio and antenna in his house. He also states that after is brother's passing, he inherited the pistol.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining original blue finish with some light muzzle wear, scattered handling marks, and some light pitting. Grips are very good with a few dings and scratches on and near the butt and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
