Description:

This is a special edition revolver that was kept by the factory as a sample of a special Black Powder Series issue. The Conquistadores Del Cielo or Conquerors of the Sky are an organization of airline and aerospace executives who gather at informal meetings at dude ranches in the west and at annual meetings in New York. Both sides of the barrel are roll stamped with decorative elements such as a golf club, revolver, cowboy hat, fishing pole, airplanes and other items. The top of the barrel is dated "7-11-1976" and the back strap is inscribed "Harding L. Lawrence" in script. Fitted with a smooth one piece walnut grip. The factory letter confirms the configuration, that it was a factory kept sample and that it was shipped on October 16th, 2008. With a glass lidded display case, an empty cap tin, a two cavity bullet mold, a powder flask and a nipple wrench/screwdriver.

Rating Definition:

Near new with some scattered minor handling/storage marks along with patches of minor freckling and some fading on the casehardened components. The case is excellent with some scattered minor marks. The accessories are all very good or better.
