The included factory letter lists this revolver as chambered in .38 Special with a 3 3/4 inch barrel, nickel finish, and grips not listed when shipped to L.W. Bullock RFD #1 in Grantsburg, Illinois on July 22, 1958. According to Page 38 of Don Wilkerson's "The Post-War Colt Single Action Revolver: 1955-1975" this is one of a mere 113 in this configuration. Matching serial numbers are found on the frame, triggerguard, inside both grips (sans suffix), and back strap with the last three digits on the front face of the cylinder. The assembly number "86" is marked on the rear of the frame, and inside the loading gate. This revolver is consecutively numbered to the following lot. Includes the original black box with "NICKEL FINISH" sticker on the lid above the end label containing a cleaning rod.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 98% plus original nickel finish with minimal handling marks, a faint partial cylinder drag line, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. Box is excellent.
