This revolver was donated to the Elizabeth Colt Legacy Foundation Raffle at the Colt Collectors Association 2009 Annual Show in Concord, North Carolina, held on October 3, 2009. The revolver is gold plated and was engraved by Colt Master Engraver Denise Thirion. The revolver features Class "C" floral scroll and punch dot engraving with ink and baked accents covering most of the barrel, ejector housing, cylinder flats, frame, trigger guard and back strap. There is a scallop and dot band around the muzzle. The top of the barrel is marked with the one line address, the left side is marked "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .38 SPECIAL" in a banner, and the two line, three patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt are on the left side of the frame. The serial number "LEGACY/2009" is marked on the bottom of the frame, and the front of the frame is signed with an intertwined "DT" (Denise Thirion). The revolver is fitted with a one piece smooth grip with gold Colt medallions and the figure of Elizabeth Colt scrimshawed on the left side with "Elizabeth Colt" at the bottom. The lower left side is also signed "DKH" for Dennis Holland who did the scrimshaw. The grip and scrimshaw were donated by Jim Alamo of Nutmeg Sports. The revolver is complete with a deluxe museum style walnut display case with emerald green interior, which was donated by Les Yoder of Brookfield Inc. and includes a silver five point star paper weight engraved "The Legacy Colt/CONCORD, NC/No Legacy 2009/Denise Thirion/COLT MFG. CO. L.L.C." A blue Colt box and original shipping sleeve are also included. The revolver was featured in an article by Carol Wilkerson on page 12 of the fall 2009 edition of "The Rampant Colt". The accompanying Colt factory letter verifies the above features with special features listed as "Qualified screws and unique serial number" and under remarks states that the revolver was donated by Lt. General William Keys and the Colt Manufacturing Company LLC.

Excellent plus. The revolver retains 99% original gold finish and shows a few overall light scratches and handling marks. The grips are as new. The display case is excellent plus.
