This pistol is absolutely beautiful and most certainly the work of master New York engraver L.D. Nimschke. The pistol comes with a Colt Factory letter stating it was special ordered to be shipped in the Soft so that it could be engraved.  The more you look at the engraving the more you see the hand of the master.  The nicest thing is that the nickle finish really protected the engraving so it's still sharp and crisp.  The area's where the nickle is gone blend nicely with the rest of the gun.  All the serial numbers match and the action is tight and locks up nicely.  The ivory grips have a wonderful mellow yellow which is quit attractive. The buttstrap is inscribed  J. Wright  and was done at the same time the gun was engraved.  Mr.Wright certainly took good care of his pistol as the bore is super.   A really beautiful Cowboy gun and if you wanted only one for your collection this would be it.
