!!COLT COLLECTORS!!

Colt means QUALITY. Period. I have a early Colt Official Police .38 SPCL. Caliber revolver. These are the ancestor to the Python. They definitely have the "Snake Gun," look as they both share the same frame. The pre-war models have the rounded "half moon" front sight, checkered trigger, hammer, and cylinder release, and the old style cylinder retention system. It has a 4” barrel. Very unique number and uber rare "1" shield number stamped on the butt end. It was manufactured during WW2(1944) making it very desirable in collectors value. It has the original Walnut grips embossed with bright Colt medallions. The checkering is still sharp and defined. The Post WW2 (1947-54)guns were fitted with plastic grips and are therefore less sought after. The bluing is all original and in excellent condition, with only minor localized cosmetic fading towards the barrels end. Internal barrel and bore are bright, rifling is sharp without any visual deterioration or flaws. Cylinder timing is perfect with zero play in cylinder lock up. As well as the cylinder rotates smooth as the day it was manufactured. As with most early Colts the metal to wood fit is exceptional, as well as the metal to metal machining tolerances. Impeccable quality and functionality. Current market value on the Guns International site range from $600- $1500+ for this gun model. I would respectively place the value of this revolver somewhere in between that price spectrum. As close to "minty," for a 71 year old vintage. Again this is an all original war era Colt. A time capsule of American history. I will include a box of Speer Gold dot Personal Protection ammo. No shipping FTF with Florida ID. Serious Inquiries only. Responses without phone numbers will be ignored. Price is firm.
