Any ideas who General Zachary could have been?

There's some discussion on the AR15 website re that revolver. It is in a Fake Antiques shop, in a district infamous for turning out high-quality fakes.

One AR15 site member writes that he has two of those Colts, and says all the stamps appear correct in location and font. He has reservations about the grips being original. The gun would have been engraved and plated at some point after issue. Me, I'd be very suspicious of it. Enough to pass.
