The Colt Marshal is the collectible sister model to such Colt revolver models as the Python, Anaconda, King Cobra, and Diamondback.
According to the included factory letter, this example was shipped to Badger Shooter Supply in Owen, Wisconsin, on July 11, 1955. It is important to note that the original shipping records for the Marshal model revolvers typically show an "M" suffix included as part of the serial number. However, the suffix was not included on the original shipping record for this particular revolver and consequently does not appear in this letter.
Between 1954 and 1956, about 2,500 units of this particular item were meticulously crafted. The serial numbers for these items ranged from 833350-M to 845320-M, although many of them were not marked with the "M" suffix as intended. The letter states that the specific item in question bears the serial number 837059 and was produced in 1955. Collectors consider These guns highly desirable due to their limited production numbers and craftsmanship.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Marshal was essentially a variation of the Official Police model, distinguished by its round butt design. It was produced with a blued finish and offered in barrel lengths of 4" and 2" (which are quite rare) and was chambered in .38 Special. The grips featured checkered walnut with silver medallions, adding to its aesthetic appeal. Approximately 2,500 of these firearms were manufactured during the period from 1954 to 1956. The serial numbers for this model ranged from 833350-M to 845320-M, and interestingly, while they were intended to have an "M" suffix, many of them did not.
