Description:

Manufactured in late 1982. The end label of the included small Custom Shop box identifies this "belly gun" as a model "'P'-2' C. S. #170,162" with "S.A. Army-BP Frame," "Type 'A' Engraving," smooth grips, and states "(Prototype) 1 of 2". The next lot is "2 of 2" and is consecutively numbered to this gun. Interestingly, the grips of both 1 and 2 are numbered to gun two. The revolvers features leafy scroll and punch dot engraving, a stubby 2 inch barrel without a front sight marked with the two line address on top and ".45" marked on the bottom, the standard three line patent marking on the left side of the frame, and a pair of smooth grips with golden "Colt/150" Rampant Colt medallions. A manual is in the box. The included factory letter confirms these prototypes were shipped as a pair in an oak case on April 18, 1997. The Custom Shop order number was 170,162.

Rating Definition:

Near new in box with only light handling marks. The box is very fine with some mild storage wear.
