Description:

Manufactured in 1984, this revolver is built on the black powder style frame and features the four major styles of Colt engraving and smooth grips marked with "R. Henshaw 1831/L. Nimschke 1850-1900/C. Helfricht 1871-1921/Contemporary" on the left and fitted with silver Rampant Colt "Colt/150" medallions. The revolver displays American scroll and punch dot engraving of slightly different styles used throughout Colt's long history, Nimschke stars on the sides of the frame, geometric/shell designs on the recoil shield and loading gate, a Rampant Colt motif with "Colt/150" on the top of the back strap, and "Colt Engraving Sampler" along the rear of the back strap. Aside from those noted above, it has the standard Colt markings and features. Includes a red Colt Custom Shop box numbered to the gun with papers. The included factory letter confirms the configuration, serial number, grips, date of shipment and engraving. It further states that this is one of only 53 revolvers produced in the Sampler Edition in this particular model configuration. A rare and beautiful addition to any Colt collection.

Rating Definition:

Near new in box, showing only the lightest of handling marks. The box is very good with light edge and corner wear.
