The included factory letter confirms the current .45 Long Colt chambering, 3 inch barrel, blue finish with gold plated cylinder, smooth ivory grips with gold Colt medallions, and a "black powder style frame" when the revolver was shipped to Kiesler Police Supply Inc. of Clarksville, Indiana, on May 24th, 1985, on Colt Custom Shop order #2686 with one other revolver of the same type in the shipment. The revolver is fitted with standard blade front sight and groove rear sight along with the "COLT SHERIFF'S MODEL" marking on the left of the barrel and otherwise standard markings. Included is the original Colt "wood grain" box with Custom Shop label which lists many of the special features and is marked "4 OF 10" indicating that these gold plated cylinder revolvers are part of a limited run of just 10. The other matching revolver from this shipment is available as the next lot. Provenance: The Charles Marx Collection
