If you were a top pistol shooter and could afford to own one exceptionally accurate revolver, you would usually choose a Colt Officer's Model. Factory engraved examples were usually only reserved for the very rich and/or elite among the top pistol shots in the shooting fraternity. These pistols were beautifully hand built to exacting accuracy requirements and were the best target pistols at this time. They had flat top target type frames, adjustable front and rear sights, checkered triggers and back straps, and super smooth, hand honed, double and single action trigger pulls. Wilbur Glahn was very active from 1920-1950 and was a well-known and favored engraver of Colt pistols. There are several pistols that exhibit similar style of engraving on pages 309-313 in R.L. Wilson's "The Book of Colt Engraving"

Excellent, retains 97% blue finish with some light edge/muzzle wear, wear on top face of trigger, and a faint cylinder drag line. The grips are also excellent with some light verdigris and a few light handling marks in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
