Offered here is a stunning modern work of Colt art by renowned engraver Denise Thirion that was a factory display piece featured at the 2005 Colt Collectors Show. It is decorated with beautiful Colt factory class "C" engraving consisting mostly of floral scrollwork on punch dot background along with cross hatching, kidney designs, and zig-zag line and dot patterns. The non-standard short barrel (3 1/2 inches) has an ejector and is marked with the two-line Hartford address on top and the caliber designation ".32-20" on the left side. The left side of the frame carries the three-line patent dates marking. The accompanying factory letter confirms the revolver was engraved by Denise Thirion and was used by the Colt factory as a show gun at the 2005 Colt Collectors Show held in Kansas City, Missouri. The revolver was later shipped to Ridge Runner Guns & Antiques of Prescott, Arizona, on October 26, 2005. This was a single gun shipment. The factory letter also confirms the 3 1/2 inch barrel in .32-20 caliber, nickel finish, grip material, grip without medallions, and factory class "C" expert level engraving.
