Manufactured in 1900 and subsequently rebarreled to .38 Special years later. The Colt factory rework star is stamped on the right side of the trigger guard, and the work order number "1230" is stamped on the left side of the grip frame. The frame has a factory quality scroll engraving on a punch dot background, the gold initials "AG" are inlaid on the top strap in front of the rear sight. Both the barrel and cylinder are not engraved. It has fancy diamond checkered grips, checkered grip straps, trigger, and custom wide low target hammer spur; windage adjustable rear sight, and fixed serrated blade front sight. The factory letter lists this target revolver with a 7 1/2 inch barrel in .44 Russian, blue finish and type of stocks not listed when shipped to J.B. Crabtree (address unknown) on August 28, 1900, as part of a 3 gun shipment. The revolver was likely engraved when it went back to the factory.

Very fine as factory reworked (see above), retaining nearly 95% factory refinished blue finish showing minor-moderate holster type wear and crisp grip checkering on the fine quality custom made grips. Mechanically excellent.
