The included factory letter confirms the serial number, barrel length, caliber, finish, "Wood" grips, and May 20, 1996 date of Shipment to Butterfield & Butterfield of San Francisco, California. The letter further states that the revolver was initially kept in the Colt Factory Archives for use by the Custom Shop, engineering, and historical departments for reference purposes. With original box.

Excellent overall. 99% slightly frosted original nickel finish remains with a few light handling marks, and sharp checkering on the grips. Mechanically excellent. Box is fair with detached end flaps.
