COLT 1938 COMMERCIAL ACE PRE WWII 100% RARE PRESENTATION CASE
Description: I believe the presentation of this 1938 100% Colt Ace with ivory grips is one of a kind. I have searched the Internet image history and find no presentation box like it. Colt's letter states this Ace was mailed to Providence, R.I. on August 22, 1938, as a shipment of ONE to Belcher & Loomis Hardware Company, Providence, R.I. The ivory stocks are not listed in Colt records. Nor is the presentation case. You can see that the (real) ivory stocks are original as they carry the Colt stallion. Do to federal and state regulations these stocks are no longer available. The Oak presentation case carries the Colt Mfg. Co. logo. The 4 boxes of Kleenbore .22 cal. ammo appear about as old as 1938 and original to the box. All 4 boxes are full. The rear site is target adjustable. Looking closely at the pistol it looks like it has been fired but, judging from the wear pattern, not much. The bluing and everything about the Ace, including the barrel and stocks, appear 100%. The “VP” verified proof, does not show bluing- originally marked after bluing. My research suggests this may have been a presentation to an executive of Belcher et al from Samuel P. Colt, the son of Samuel Colt of Colt firearms. From newspaper articles and advertising of the period, the rubber trade and products business in Rhode Island was a big deal during the early 1900's. According to articles of the 20s, Belcher & Lommis Hardware took over Kelly-Springfield Tire Co. in 1921. Samuel P. Colt was the president and general mgr of U.S. Rubber, the largest rubber company in the U.S.. Articles of that period link Colt with the Belcher owned Kelly-Springfield Tire Co. as cooperating companies. Finding an article showing the presentation of this pistol would have been great but no such luck. This pistol is pre- WWII and thereby qualifies as a C&R firearm. If interested, I have more photos.
