Corrected and updated post.

Colt Custom shop American Historical Foundation made these in the early 90's (?)  mid 80s.  Hand engraved and silver plated.  They made 100 of each, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps commemoratives from 2nd Generation 1851 Navies.  This one is #7 of 100.  The Army one I have is #52 (?) of 100.  I would check it; but it's under a bunch of stuff in the safe.  Army is gold plated ad the Marine Corps and Air Force models are combination of gold and silver plated.  Still looking to get the Marine Corps and Air Force models.

I've never seen one those before,   not surprising since It's a limited edition.    I like the fact there is nothing else in the case,  just the revolver and nothing else to detract from it.   Very Nice.

Nice one Fingers.
My biggest concern is that when I pass away, my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.

Very nice collectible! I remember them, but didn't want to spend the money they were asking. Penny wise, pound foolish.
