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.
