The included factory letter confirms the 7 1/2 inch barrel chambered in .45 Long Colt, nickel finish, grip material, and "C" class standard engraving (engraver's name not listed) when shipped to Hill Country Wholesale in Austin, Texas, on December 20, 1984, as a single shipment for Colt Custom Shop order number 2661. The left grip panel features a relief carved "rampant colt" while the right panel is smooth. Left side of grip frame marked "COLT/ENG." Matching serial numbers on frame, trigger guard, and back strap. Matching partial serial number "7759" on cylinder. Includes original Colt "wood grain" box with end label marked "10 of 13," and confirming type "C" factory engraving and nickel finish. Grips listed as rosewood.

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus of original nickel finish with limited handling marks and faint traces of a cylinder drag line. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine.
