The right side is marked with the U.S. Navy roll mark, a reference to the beloved, Ferrari driving Private Investigator's time as a United States Navy Seal and Naval Intelligence Officer. The frame is marked on the left with the United States Property marking and special serial number "TMC1", standing for Thomas Magnum Commemorative 1, and Turnbull manufacturer marking (under the grip) on the right. Fitted with fixed blade front and round top notch rear sights, smooth solid trigger, double diamond checkered walnut grips, smooth straight mainspring housing with lanyard staple, and two-tone magazine with lanyard staple baseplate. Includes a letter from Tom Selleck stating that this pistol was made for him by Doug Turnbull as a commemoration of his iconic role as Thomas Magnum. Provenance: The Tom Selleck Collection
