Is that some kind of a custom, or did it come from the factory like that?

Best I recall now, the Colt New Frontier came about in 1963.
My uncle worked for Colt Industries and purchased one in 357.
I really liked the flat top look. I acquired mine somewhat later.
Over the years I've own several others in 44 Spl as well as 45 LC.
I guess one could say the one pictured was customized a bit.
It started out with factory wood stocks, blue w/case-colored
frame and the Colt adjustable rear target sight assembly.
About 30 or 40 years ago, I whittled out the ivory stocks,
had it engraved and added the 'rough country' fixed rear
sight of my making.
Carried it on several pack trips. It shoots were I'm looking with
a hard cast swc and a big dollop of 2400.
