The factory letter lists this revolver as part of a pair in .45 caliber with a 5 1/2 inch barrel, nickel finish, and factory engraving shipped to H & D Folsom Arms in New York City on Christmas Eve 1912. The pearl grips and the gold plating on the ejector housing, cylinder, hammer, and trigger were not listed. The engraving consists of scroll engraving with punch dot backgrounds along with wavy line and line and dot patterns and covers around 25% of the metal surfaces. The pearl grips have silver Colt medallions. It also features the usual blade and groove sights, "45 COLT" marked in an engraved banner on the left side of the barrel, the one-line address on top of the barrel, the two-line address on the left side of the frame, matching serial numbers, assembly number "18" on the loading gate and back of the frame, and the "VP" proof and "1" on the left side of the trigger guard.
