OLD COLT: WE PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH AN ONLINE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE FOR OLD COLT GUNS.
This Colt Officer's Model Match was shipped to the Transportation Officer at Fort George G. Meade in Odenton, Maryland on July 29th, 1960 in a 33 gun shipment. It was built on July 15th, 1960.
The letter has a notation that this was a "National Match Grade" and Furnished with a short action. That notation means that instead of this being built as a DA or double-action revolver, it was built as a SA or single-action. These special order models were purchased for the Army Pistol Team's use in competitive matches.
