Also accompanied by a Colt factory letter identifying this revolver as found with finish listed “white”, rubber grips, shipped to Herb Glass, Bullville, NY on Jan. 2, 1968 in a six gun shipment. Under “remarks” section it states “Records indicate that this revolver was included in a shipment of three pairs of firearms with consecutive serial numbers. The revolvers were furnished in the ‘white’, which is without any finish, and were destined for engraving outside the factory. The revolvers were processed on factory order #11508. Also accompanied by a letter on Alvin White letterhead dated Nov. 25, 1974 over the signature of R.L. Wilson, Managing Director & Vice President, stating that this revolver had been received in the white and was ready for engraving. He further states that other revolvers in the 4545-SA serial range were engraved by Mr. White with numbers CC-1 and CC-2 going to Chuck Connors and another RPM#1 to Richard P. Mellon and RKM#1 to Richard King Mellon, another for a collector in Switzerland which was a copy of the 125th Anniversary Single Action Army revolver and still another was made as a prototype for a potential commemorative, SN TR-1, and the final one was made as a presentation for President Richard M. Nixon. He states all were in the 4545- serial range and were in sequence. It is unknown to whom this letter was addressed but apparently that person never followed through to have the engraving project completed. This is an opportunity for someone to complete the project and create another spectacular custom engraved Colt Single Action Army.
