Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: MODEL 1909 U.S. ARMY .45 COLT CALIBER NEW SERVICE REVOLVER, #23XXX WITH MATCHING U.S. ARMY No. 39XXX. This was the Army’s last .45 Colt chambered revolver. The only later .45 caliber Colt was the more common and heavily produced M-1917 chambered in .45 ACP for W.W.I usage. Unlike the Model 1917 which was finished in a dull military finish, the Model 1909 was finished in Colt’s high polish blue. Many of this model saw very hard service in the Army and later when sold as surplus on the civilian market or to foreign countries. This example certainly saw use, but is in fine condition with bright bore and excellent mechanics and lockup. It retains excellent markings including the rampant colt on the left side of the receiver, R.A.C. inspector stamps on the frame, barrel and cylinder, Colt barrel markings, “United States Property” on the bottom of the barrel (many had this ground off when sold as surplus) and the U.S. Army/Model 1909 with number markings on butt- the Army number matches the number inside the frame, cylinder latch back and yoke. Overall blue is good, but getting aged and dull, but still there with brighter blue in the more protected areas like on the frame around the cylinder, in the cylinder flutes, top and bottom of the barrel etc. There is evidence of some old rust on the barrel in one small spot on the left side that was simply wiped off, not buffed or cleaned. There are also some light dings on the lower barrel sides that are fairly minor. Front sight has not been altered, correct smooth walnut grips are fine, still retains some fire blue on the hammer back and trigger sides. Lanyard ring is also intact. In all, an attractively aged Model 1909.
