This Colt revolver was manufactured in 1912. It was cased by craftsman Lewis Woyce and fitted with silver inlaid grips by John Boss Jr. This revolver and an identical revolver, serial no. 320916, were presented by Raymond L.J. Riling to his two sons in 1956. The companion to this revolver, number 320916, was formerly in the Robert Q. Sutherland collection. It is pictured and described on page 254 of THE BOOK OF COLT FIREARMS by R.L. Wilson. The revolver has a 5 1/2-inch barrel and is chambered for the .45 Colt cartridge. It has the high-polish Colt pre-WWI commercial blue finish with casehardened hammer and frame. The hammer and frame have vivid case colors. The barrel has the standard Colt, one-line Hartford address on the top and the caliber designation, "45 COLT" on the left side. The left side of the frame has the Colt 'two-line/three date' patent marking followed by the encircled rampant Colt motif. The Colt "V/P" proof mark is stamped on the left front of the trigger guard and a inspector's initial "W" is stamped on the rear. The serial number is located on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. All of the serial numbers match. The walnut grips are inlaid with a detailed silver eagle on both sides. The left grip is inlaid with a silver oval engraved with the monogram "JR" at the junction of the back strap and frame. The right grip has a silver, five-pointed star inlaid in the same position. The 12 inch by 7 inch mahogany case has the cover inlaid with a detailed spread eagle and shield with ribbon in an oval. The inlay is executed in contrasting wood and the shield is colored red, white and blue. The case is lined with blue velvet and divided into six compartments. One compartment has a silver overlaid wood lid and another is fitted with a silver block for twenty-five cartridges. The case contains a silver oil bottle and cleaning rod with brush and two brass tips.

Excellent plus overall. The revolver has 98% plus of the bright original high polish Colt blue finish. Wear is limited to some very minor handling marks on the trigger guard and some light drag marks on the cylinder. The case colors on the frame and hammer are brilliant. Virtually all the original casehardened finish is present. The revolver appears to be unfired. The handsomely silver inlaid grips are in exceptionally fine condition. The case is in very fine condition. The decorated lid has nearly all the original finish and is free from nicks and scratches. The front of the case has a few storage and handling scratches near the lock. The case interior is fine with some oil staining and cartridge head impressions on lid. A very impressive and well-documented cased Single Action Army revolver.
