The pistol comes with a Colt Factory letter that indicate it was shipped in April, 1917 to the famous old Pittsburgh Sporting good firm W. S. Brown Co. It was part of a 20 gun shipment that is believed to have been intended to use for the security of one of the large steel plants probably for use against striking employees. This is a striking example of a very well preserved Colt with a Pittsburgh Pedigree.
