Confirmed by the included Colt factory letter, this revolver was kept by the Colt factory as a sample and display revolver of this commemorative issue. The letter also confirms the caliber, barrel length, commemorative markings, finishes, and pearlite stocks. Complete with presentation case.

Excellent plus. The revolver retains 99% plus original blue finish with a few mild handling marks and 97% of the gold plating with some minor wear and a light cylinder drag line. The grips are near new with only the slightest handling marks. Case is fine with some minor handling marks and a slightly warped lid.
