The included factory letter confirms this revolver's current configuration as chambered for ".38/c" with a 6 inch barrel, blue finish, and stocks not listed. The letter also confirms that the revolver was factory engraved with "N.H.S.G." (New Hampshire State Guard) on the butt before being included in a shipment of 24 to the Adjutant General of New Hampshire for Capt. Frank T. Ripley of Concord, New Hampshire, on July 29, 1941. Features round blade front and frame notch rear sights. The barrel is marked on the left with "COLT OFFICIAL/POLICE 38" and the two-line Colt address on top. The trigger guard is marked with "VP" and "Y" proofs on the left side. The number "4" is scratched into the left side of the frame upside down just above the thumb latch. Fitted with a set of unnumbered checkered walnut grips with silver colt medallions. Also includes an original Colt box with faint possibly matching serial number on the bottom and a cleaning rod.

ConditionExcellent overall, retaining 97% plus original blue finish with a minor cylinder drag line, faint spotting on the gripstraps, minimal handling marks, and crisp grip checkering. The box is fine. Mechanically excellent.
