Manufactured in 1994 with standard markings and features of the special edition. 1 of 1,000 produced and marked "CTC0054" on the bottom of the frame. Includes a signed letter from James Ellroy, author of American crime novels such as L. A. Confidential and The Black Dahlia, stating that the revolver was part of his personal collection, as well as a commemorative hardwood case.

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original finishes with limited handling evidence The case is also excellent with a few minor handling/storage marks and some wear in the lining. Mechanically excellent.
