Overall Condition: This revolver retains about 80% of its metal finish. The balance is mostly in the engraving cut through the finish. There are a few other scattered light marks. The action shows minor operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this revolver is in Fine condition as custom-engraved.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: A Colt Archives letter is included, indicating that this revolver shipped to Herb Carlson Sport Shop in Nampa, Idaho on May 25, 1960 as the only revolver of its type in the shipment.
Our Assessment: The Colt Officer’s Model Match revolvers were made specifically for competitive shooters. The hand-honed action of these revolvers helped shooters win many championships, and they are generally known to be one of the finest target revolvers ever manufactured. The action on this revolver is certainly no exception and rivals that of the Colt Python for smoothness. In addition to its 6” barrel, this revolver has a rear target sight adjustable for windage and elevation and a Patridge front sight. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and the cylinder lockup is as solid as the day it left the factory. No Colt revolver collection would ever be complete without a Colt Officer’s Model in each of its variants, and this custom engraved example is beautiful. In addition to its engraving, it has been equipped with an attractive set of checkered walnut grips. Curiously, the engraving appears to be cut through the original finish, with raised edges still on the factory markings. Those looking for a high-end target revolver should also be interested in this revolver – we weren’t kidding when we said it rivals the Python for smoothness. Please see our photos and good luck!
