Description:

Manufactured in 2007 and subsequently masterfully embellished by John Adams Sr. of Adams & Adams Engravers in September of 2009. The work is signed "J.ADAMS" on the front of the frame. The included authentication lists the engraving as "C" coverage Sears style engraving and the grips as one piece factory. The letter also confirms the finish, which is nearly entirely silver plating apart from some small parts and screws, which are nitre blue. Includes a Colt blue box and the original shipping sleeve.

Rating Definition:

Excellent as masterfully embellished by John Adams Sr., retains 99% plus silver finish and nitre blue with most of the silver taking on an attractive light antique patina and crisp engraving. The grips are very good with some age related hairline cracks but otherwise minimal handling evidence. Mechanically excellent. The boxes are excellent with some light handling/storage wear.
