Manufactured in 1981 and subsequently masterfully embellished with 70% coverage American-style floral scroll engraving, which is signed "BARNARD" within a banner under the barrel. This is most likely done by R.L. Barnard, former member of the Firearms Engravers Guild of America, who was well known for his work from the 1970s to 1990s. It has a nickel finish and pearl grips with silver Colt medallions, which only add to the beauty of this very fine revolver.

Very fine as masterfully embellished, retains 99% nickel finish with some scattered light dings and scratches, and some light cylinder drag lines. The grips are very good with some chipping and dings and a repair in the right panel near the medallion. Mechanically excellent.
