Colt Third Generation Sheriff's Model Single Action Army Revolver with Scarce 2 Inch Barrel, Ivory Grip, Original Box, and Factory Letter

Manufactured in 2009, this is an excellent example of a Colt Third Generation "Sheriff's Model" Single Action Army revolver with a scarce factory 2 inch barrel. The included factory letter lists the revolver in .45 Colt caliber with a 3 inch barrel, blue and casehardened finish, and grips not listed when originally shipped to Sports South Inc. in Shreveport, Louisiana, on 17 July 2009 in a three gun shipment. The letter goes on to state that the revolver was returned to the factory on 24 August 2010 for additional customizing, which included being fitted with a 2 inch barrel and custom tuning of the action, before being shipped again to Randell E. Pate of Jenison, Michigan, on 21 September 2010. The right of the barrel is marked with the two-line address, and the caliber marking is on the left. The left side of the frame is marked with the three-line patent dates. It is fitted with a blade front sight, frame-top groove rear sight, and a one-piece ivory grip. The screws, cylinder pin, and trigger have a niter blue finish. Includes the original shipping box with label hand-altered to reflect the barrel length change and a Colt factory blue box. Provenance: The Charles Marx Collection

ConditionExceptionally fine as factory altered to current configuration, retains 99% plus of the factory blue, casehardened, and niter blue finishes with very little wear overall and a few faint cylinder turn lines. The grip is very fine with a few light handling marks and a gap on the left of the front strap. Mechanically excellent. The boxes are fine or better with some moderate wear/tearing on the shipping box.
