Description:
LATE PRODUCTION NEW SERVICE .45 COLT CALIBER, 5 ½” BARREL, WITH GORGEOUS YELLOW AGED STAG GRIPS WITH COLT MEDALLIONS, #343XXX, MADE DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION YEAR OF 1937. Colt was making very few New Service revolvers during this terrible economic time in the U.S. and it is thought that some of the finest arms ever manufactured by all the major companies come from this time because they only employed their finest workmen, with everyone else long since let go. The actions on this era firearm are truly works of mechanical art. All were hand fitted and meticulously polished etc. This one is no exception. The action is tight with no “end shake” or movement in the cylinder, double action and single action trigger pulls are superb. Minty bright bore, unaltered front sight, all correct markings including the rampant colt stamping on the left side of the frame and the last patent date on the top of the barrel of 1926. Has checkered trigger and retains the swivel in the butt. Overall metal surfaces are an aged blue that is dulling and mixing plum/brown in the more handled areas with brighter blue in the protected areas and cylinder flutes. Stag grips are solid and free of chips or cracks, fit exceptionally well, are mellowed to a beautiful yellowed patina and retain the Colt medallions. A striking Colt that came right out of here in Montana.
