Manufactured in 1908 and subsequently custom embellished. The profuse factory quality engraving consists mostly of floral scrollwork on a punch dot background along with a floral motif on the top strap, fan pattern behind the hammer, scallop borders, wavy line and dot motif on top of the ejector rod housing, and kidney motifs on both sides of the frame at the hammer screw. The barrel has the one-line Hartford address on top and "45 COLT" inside a banner on the left side. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent dates followed by a Rampant Colt. The right side of the trigger guard has a Colt factory ampersand rework mark, possibly for the engraving and silver plating. The revolver is plated in silver and fitted with Rampant Colt medallion grips featuring a carved steer head on the right panel. Matching serial numbers are on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. The included factory letter lists the revolver in .32-20 with 7 1/2 inch barrel, blue finish, and grips not listed when shipped to Montgomery Ward & Co. in Chicago on 25 May 1908.

Very fine as custom embellished, retaining 99% of the aged darkened replated silver. The engraving is crisp. The slightly oversize grips are fine with typical age cracking, mellow aged appearance, some minor handling marks and crisp carving. Action functions, but is slightly out of time.
