Blue and case color finishes with factory ivory grips. This outstanding revolver is listed as being "B" coverage engraved.

Cylinder is engraved with full coverage with the exception of the flutes. The backstrap and triggerguard are engraved with a equal amount of coverage. The perfectly fitted Ivory grips in the special order bird's head grip are of the 2-piece variation. Another very rare feature is the hammer is factory engraved and left blued. This is very rarely encountered on Factory Colt engraved revolvers. Box label is marked "Model P1840Z C.S. #4901 Serial number S08206A S.A.Army-CP Design .45LC, 3 1/2" Bbl.

The revolver is complete with blue box with outer sleeve and all factory instructions and paperwork including hang tag. CONDITION: Excellent and as new. The gun shows no evidence of having ever had the cylinder turned. There is no wear or distress on the revolver. Grips are equally fine. Bore is pristine as viewed from muzzle as no attempt to cock or rotate the cylinder was made. A finer example can not be had at this time. 52832-2 TDW (8,000-10,000) W/FACTORY BOX
