The included factory letter lists this revolver as chambered in .45 caliber with a 5 1/2 inch barrel, blue finish, grips not listed, and inscribed "Presented to L.C. Jacobson by Fred A. Roff. Jr., President Colt's Patent Firearms Mfg. Co., Inc." charged to an expense account and shipped to Jacobson at Del E. Webb Corp. in Phoenix, Arizona on June 11, 1962. Page 153 of Don Wilkerson's "The Post-War Colt Single Action Revolver: 1955-1975" states this revolver is one of only 34 in this configuration to receive only an inscription from the factory. L.C. Jacobson worked as an executive officer, and part owner of the Del E. Webb Corporation, a construction firm in Arizona from 1946 until his retirement in 1965. During his tenure with Webb, the company would take on many famous building projects including the infamous Flamingo Hotel and the first Sun City retirement facility. Included with the revolver is the original black box containing a cleaning brush. Provenance: L.C. Jacobson: Property of a Gentleman

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue finish and case colors with minimal handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Box is very fine. This is your chance to add a rare and desirable factory inscribed Single Action Army to your collection!
