This gun has been sold.
This Colt is not original.
Aside from the engraving, the gripstrap was extremely short (all Detective Specials made after the mid 60's had grips that wrapped around the butt).
I welded an extension (see the second picture on the right) for looks, and fit mother of pearl grips.
I'm average size and now it's a three and a half finger hold for me.
