Manufactured in 2001, the included factory letter confirms the current configuration including the class "A" factory engraving executed by Colt Master Engraver Jan Gwinnell, whose signature is on the right side of the front strap, as well as the buffalo horn grips with silver Colt medallions and shipment to J & J Custom Firearms in Columbus, Indiana on 18 February 2001. Also included is the original shipping sleeve and Colt blue box.

Excellent, retains 99% plus original nickel finish with only the slightest handling marks. The grips are very fine with a few age related hairline cracks and otherwise minimal handling evidence. Mechanically excellent. The boxes are very fine with some light handling/storage wear.
