Winkelman owned Bills House of Guns, which was one of the largest firearms retailers in the state of Wisconsin prior to his retirement in 1988. Fitted with checkered rubber Colt grip with gold medallions. Grip frame marked "COLT ENG". Includes original Colt Custom shipping box, "VINCIT QUI PATITUR" marked leatherette display case, and spare set of checkered walnut grips with gold Colt medallions.

ConditionExcellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with minimal handling marks and crisp grip checkering. The display case is also excellent. Mechanically excellent.
