Description:

The included Colt factory letter confirms the serial number, caliber, barrel length and blue finish with the type of stocks "not listed" and states that the revolver was shipped to Jurek Brothers Inc., Greenfield, MA, on February 20, 1956 as part of a two gun shipment. Standard markings with casehardened frame, polished hammer sides and blue remaining parts. Fitted with checkered Rampant Colt grips. Matching numbers on the frame, front and back strap, and both grips. Complete with Colt factory black box numbered to the gun.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% plus original blue finish with some scattered mild handling marks and a very faint cylinder drag line. The frame retains 99% plus original case colors with some scattered light scratches. The grips are very fine with a few mild nicks in the overall sharp checkering and a repaired chip (left panel near the frame). Box is good with tape repairs. Mechanically excellent.
