Description:
RARE BISLEY FLATTOP TARGET REVOLVER, .32-20 CALIBER, WITH FACTORY LETTER, #263XXX, MADE 1905. Colt only made 976 Flattop Bisleys from 1894-1913. Of these, 131 were made in the popular .32-20 caliber. This example is verified to caliber and Flattop configuration by the factory letter which shows shipment on April 29, 1905 to J. F. Schmelzer & Sons Arms Company, Kansas City, Missouri. It would seem apparent that this revolver was ordered and used as a "working" gun as opposed to a purely target revolver. Overall the metal is an aged blue to brown with good aged/dulled blue on the cylinder and in the more protected areas. The balance is mainly a plum/brown patina with some gray on the barrel probably from holster carry. The action is tight with four clicks to the hammer and the screws and markings are all fine. Grips are fine with the left grip a probable replacement as it is slightly undersize along the back strap. Matching numbers. The bore is only fair to good as it is a bit dark with good rifling but has a couple of rings toward the middle of the bore that do not show on the outside of the barrel. Nice overall appearance.
