Manufactured in 1916, this pistol was shipped to Mains Enterprises Incorporated of Las Vegas, Nevada in 1979. Per the included invoice, the pistol was reblued, received a sharp checkering on the trigger face, and was engraved. The coverage, described as between 118 and 125 square centimeters in the invoice, is about 90% plus in total surface coverage, was patterned directly after an item seen on page 328 of The Book of Colt Engraving, executed in fine emulation of the classic Colt factory punch-dot backed scrollwork, taking care not to disrupt the serial number or slide markings. Markings and features are generally standard, with the addition of the checkered trigger and a set of pearl grips with Colt medallions. With a red velvet lined case, bearing a gold Rampant Colt on the lid padding and a branded "serpentine C" pattern logo on top of the lid.

Very fine as professionally embellished, with 98% plus deep "royal blue" finish, showing only slight handling marks. Traces of cleaned and covered pitting can be seen under the grips, and the ends of the grip screw hole appear to have been roughed out a bit after the refinish. The grips are very good, with a few light scratches and a small amount of plastic filler around the screw escutcheons and medallions. The case is good, with some scuffing and cracking of the exterior, and mild interior wear. Mechanically excellent.
