It retains the Colt factory markings. The grips are marked with the serial number, and the left panel is marked "HAND MADE BY/DC." The factory letter states that the revolver had a 5 1/2 inch 45 LC barrel and blue finish with the type of stocks not listed when it was shipped to West Texas Wholesale Supply, Abilene, TX on September 4, 1981. Comes with a Colt display case. A second similar engraved and consecutively numbered SAA (SA51960) in the same shipment is in the next lot.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall as professionally embellished with 99% plus of the nickel finish showing the slightest handling marks overall and faint cylinder drag line. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent with a few minor handling marks.
