President John F. Kennedy New Frontier Colt
Colt crafted this exceptional revolver as a gift for President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The elaborate engraving includes JFK monogram, the presidential seal, the White House, and a gold PT boat inlay. Appropriately, the serial number is PT-109. The President's untimely death in November 1963 prevented this handgun from being presented.
