Coltautos.com Gun of the Month - November 1999
|
|
November's Gun of the Month is the very first Model M with factory gold inlay. Additionally, this pistol is also the very first Model M shipped with mother-of-pearl grips. The pistol has six areas of gold inlay and is factory inscribed with the gold inlaid initials "D.H.P." and engraved on the grip safety. This work was performed by Colt master engraver Cuno Helfrict, who also did the first gold inlaid Model N (featured as the June 1999 Coltautos.com Gun of the Month.) The gun was shipped to Browning Brothers in Ogden, Utah in December 15, 1903 - just a few months into production.
