  Find the book, Colt Commemorative Firearme by R.L.Wilson for some info.

  Any chance that the letter in the SN is a "g" rather then a "b". Colt made a last run of the .22 Aces's in the 70's, sounds like yours is one of them. It would only be considered a Commemorative if it it was cataloged as such by Colt, other wise it would only be a limited edition made as a special order gun for a organization or a specific retailer.

  We need to see photos. They should show all markings on the gun, the box, & the box label.

  The Colt Ace was not made after World War II, so I suspect you have a Post-War Service Model Ace, reintroduced in 1978 at Serial Number SM14001 and discontinued again in 1982. IF your gun is actually a Colt, it must be some sort of special run. Pictures are needed, especially of any markings on the frame.
