Presented to Colorado Lawman John M. Macquarrie. He was the undersheriff of Huerfano County, Colorado, and served as second in command under Sheriff Jeff Farr, one of the most corrupt sheriffs in the history of Colorado.

The Colt Factory Archive letter states that this gun is a .45/c with a 4 - 3/4" barrel, silver plated, and with pearl grips. Factory inscribed "WALSENBURG April, 20 1904 COLORADO" on top of frame and "J.M. MACQUARRIE" on strap. It was sold to Paul Frolich, address unavailable.
