The revolver was then sent back to Colt for final inspection before being shipped back to Turnbull on August 1st, 2013, for final delivery to Sunrise Pass Arms of Minden, Nevada, on August 2nd, 2013, along with a second consecutively serial numbered and highly customized special ordered Turnbull collaboration revolver for Mr. Marx which is available as the previous lot. Provenance: The Charles Marx Collection
