The included factory letter confirms the serial number, caliber, barrel length, and pearlite grips featuring gold medallions with the shipped finish being nickel. The revolver was shipped on December 8, 1970 with a consecutively numbered revolver (58134SA) to Charles Schreiner, III, Texas Ranger Historical Arms, Y.O. Ranch, Mountain Home, Texas. (Note that revolver 58134SA is also featured in this auction.) Charles Schreiner, III started the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America in 1964 to preserve the then near extinct cattle, which had declined to 1,000 or fewer from the tens of millions in the late 19th century. His efforts to preserve the longhorns was a success that continues to this day. Schreiner went beyond the conservation of longhorn cattle to include exotic animals from Africa, South America, and Asia at his Y.O. Ranch. The Y.O. Ranch was started by Schreiner's grandfather and today is home of the largest collection of live wild animals. The revolver has standard Second Generation Colt barrel and frame markings with the finish being silver. Comes with a sealed box of Y.O. Ranch .45 caliber cartridges, Colt Stagecoach box, and papers.
