Colt 1909 .45 Colt Revolver - 1910 Philippines Shipment for changing to .45c
Description: Colt 1909 .45 Colt Revolver - 1909 Philippines insurrection from historically significant early shipment to change military sidearms from .38c to .45c caliber.
Proof of provenance: Accompanying signed and embossed archive letter from Colt Archives, Office of the Colt Historian stating: "Sold to United States Government, Commanding Officer, Ordnance Depot, Manila, Philippine Islands, June 17, 1909. Number of guns in shipment 750". The Philippine Moro Rebellion after the Spanish American War demonstrated factually that the .38 Colt was an unsatisfactory man stopper. The Moros would take a cylinder of .38 Colt’s and keep on coming. With the result that many American soldiers were either seriously wounded or killed by the Moro’s knives. The Army replaced the .38’s with .45’s. One of the .45 rounds often did what six of the .38 Colt’s bullets could not do. Stop a charging Moro cold. The War Department placed initial orders for 6000 New Service revolvers Caliber .45, on December, 17 1908. They were officially designated as" Colt's Double-Action Revolver, Caliber .45, Model of 1909". The marking "U.S. ARMY MODEL 1909, N0. 31004.

The cylinder latch was marked on the rear with the last 4 digits of the serial number. The stocks were hand numbered inside as well as marked on the butt with the inspectors initials "RAC" (Renaldo A. Carr.) The right side of the receiver was also marked with the initials of the inspector as well as with those of the "Army Inspector of Ordnance".
