The included factory letter lists the revolver as .45 Colt, 3 inch barrel, grips "Not Listed", and shipped "In-The-White" when the revolver was shipped to Doug Turnbull for Mr. Charles Marx. The "Remarks" section of the letter states that the revolver was customized by Turnbull Restorations for Mr. Marx, by cutting the barrel to 1 1/2 inches without a front sight, adding a hand fitted set of mother of pearl grips with carved steer head on the right panel with ruby eyes and gold accents, cutting away the trigger guard in the "Fitz Special" configuration (which the letter notes that Colt did not approve), hand polishing the revolver, and finishing the revolver in Carbonia Blue and Bone Charcoal color casehardening on the frame, hammer, and loading gate. The revolver was then sent back to Colt for final inspection before being shipped back to Turnbull on August 1st, 2013, for final delivery to Sunrise Pass Arms of Minden, Nevada, on August 2nd, 2013, along with a second consecutively serial numbered and highly customized special ordered Turnbull collaboration revolver for Mr. Marx which is available as the next lot.
