I acquired this 1917 Colt within the past year. It was owned by Dean Grennell's brother Ralph. The gun appears in two of Grennell's books from the early and late 1970's..."Book of the 45" and "Pistol and Revolver Digest."

In those books, it is stated that the custom work was done by John B Williams Gunsmithing in Fullerton California.

Thanks for posting those great pictures. That exact gun poluted my young mind with gun lust. I still have my copy of Pistol and Revolver Digest. I was about 12 when I got it. It's still a dream gun after all these years. Enjoy it.
