In 1932 Colt shipped this pistol to Western Cartridge Company which they had special ordered for reasons no longer known, Judging from the condition of this gun today, I believe we may surmise that they didn't buy it to test new cartridges, as it appears not to have been fired at all. In any event to my fermented mind, this appears to be the perfect pistol to slip into your pocket the next time you're invited to an event requiring a tuxedo or white tie.  The gun comes with the walnut presentation case, to keep it in while awaiting that special invitation. Oh, need I mention, of course those are genuine Mother Of Pearl grips. You wouldn't be caught dead with anything less.  Factory letter included.
