COLT New Service ~ .455 ELEY ~ 5.5 inch barrel revolver
Description: **NEW LOW PRICE of $850 (was $1,000.00) ** We have a Colt New Service revolver in .455 Eley up for your consideration. This model has a barrel length of 5.5 inches and features checkered wooden grips, most likely not original to the gun. Please see photos for use and wear, as this is an older revolver and such a cool old Colt to add to your collection. Chambered in .455 Eley and full of history and character. The action swings out smoothly, spins and locks up nice and tight. Finish is worn and the grip butt is dimpled. The bore is in fair condition and clean. Based on a serial number search on Colt’s this gun has a manufacture date of 1911. Below is some interesting info. on the New Service model quoted from AllAboutColts: “Colt’s New Service Revolver was for many years one of the biggest, most powerful revolvers available to sportsmen, law enforcement and the military. They were made from 1898 to WW2 (some sources state 1897 to 1943) and chambered for a wide variety of calibers during its long production run. The New Service was a large, heavy, double action, swing out cylinder revolver and most were manufactured with barrel lengths from 4” to 7.5” with fixed sights. The New Service Target and Shooting Master came with adjustable sights and were some of the finest target guns of their day. The New Service was different from its immediate, double action predecessors in that the cylinder turned clockwise. The New Service was an excellent design and was very well regarded by all who used it during its day but in comparison to modern revolvers, it is a bit dated. The double action trigger pull is quite heavy and unless it is a New Service Target or Shooting Master, there will be no easy way to adjust the sights. The adjustable sights of the New Service Target and Shooting Master were a bit crude compared to modern target guns but they were good enough to post some impressive scores in their day.” This gun was imported and bears a discreet import mark.
