The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver as shipped on May 5, 1926, to individual Chuck Haas, address unlisted, in .32-20 caliber, with a 4 3/4 inch barrel length, blue finish, ivory grip, with "level 2" factory engraving, and shipped with an extra cylinder (not included), on Colt Custom Shop factory order #11325/2, as part of a 2 gun shipment. The revolver is embellished by the Glahn factory shop with engraving consisting of floral designs and scrollwork on punchdot backgrounds. R. L. Wilson on page 385 of "The Colt Engraving Book, Volume One" wrote, "The grand total of engraved Single Action Army revolvers (excluding the Bisley Model and Flattop Target Model) from 1873 through 1940 is approximately 3,000. A number of these also included hand engraved inscriptions or monograms. For the period of Cuno Helfricht (through c. 1921) the total of factory engraved Single Action Army revolvers was approximately 2,550..." That leaves less than 500 for subsequent years leading up to World War II. Others estimate as many as 4,500 engraved First Generation Single Action Army revolvers, but that still accounts for only approximately 1.26% of production based on a total of 357,859, per production figures on page 25 of "Blue Book Pocket Guide for Colt Dates of Manufacture" (2008) by R.L. Wilson. The barrel is marked with "32 W.C.F." on the left side and the Hartford address on top. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent date markings followed by a Rampant Colt. The full serial number appears on the frame, with matching "225" on the rear face of the cylinder, and assembly number "807" on the loading gate. The revolver wears a set of earlier production replacement, highly attractive pearl grips featuring a detailed raised relief carved steer head on the right panel.
