A family friend, who is a veteran of WWII and served three years in the South Pacific, has a revolver and a paper to the effect that it was one of six similar revolvers given as gifts by Patton, and that this particular one was given by Patton to his driver (I'm not sure the connection to my friend...). This friend wishes to know any details that may be suggested on this matter, and also is curious as to the value. I told him I would put this out where knowledgeable folks might comment.
The particulars: "Colt D.A.45" and "C8500" inscribed on revolver, Serial #151xxx. It appears to be nickel plated and has white handles. Photo below (hopefully...).
Any information or comments will be appreciated. I'll print out whatever results from this inquiry and mail it to my friend.
