Description:

The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 5 1/2 inch barrel in .38-40 caliber, blue finish and highly desirable "checkered wood" stocks when shipped to Lt. C.R. Campbell (address unavailable and so research on file) on February 22, 1929. It has standard Colt markings, the number "1" above a Colt triangle proof stamped on the left side of the trigger guard, and matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. The rare and highly sought after checkered diamond pattern grips have silver Rampant Colt medallions at the top.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 98% original blue and casehardened finishes showing light cylinder rotation lines and some scattered mild high edge wear. The grips are also excellent with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A highly attractive individual shipped Colt SAA with desirable factory documented two piece walnut stocks.
