Description:
EARLIEST STYLE, FIRST MODEL OFFICERS MODEL .38 DA, #245XXX, MADE 1905, called by collectors “Left-Wheelers” as the cylinder revolves counter clockwise only on this first type target revolver. This model is simply a target version of the Model 1892 series of revolvers (New Army and New Navy) that were made in civilian version as well as under government contract for the U.S. Military. These distinctive and particularly attractively finished revolvers are quite scarce today. The cylinders are bored through to take both the service .38 Long Colt rounds or .38 Special cartridges. Exc. markings with the last patent date of 1901 on the barrel top. Matching assembly numbers on the frame, yoke and cylinder release. Correct adjustable target sights, fine deep blue overall with some dulling on the barrel sides and light scattered scuffing on the frame, trigger guard, and thinning blue on the grip straps and cylinder edges, checkered trigger and back strap, excellent checkered walnut grips correct for this model without medallions, tight action and exc. bore. Interestingly, has the small number 854 under either a letter or numeral stamped on the left side of the frame which leads me to believe this might have been a police or guard gun. A Colt factory letter would be worth obtaining for this one. Truly a class act from the early 29th century!
