COLT OFFICERS MODEL HEAVY BARREL WITH EARLY PROTOTYPE KINGS CONVERSION -- SIGHT, HAMMER AND TRIGGER -- 1ST YEAR PYTHON GRIPS
Description: SN 625,2XX; Colt Officers Model Heavy Barrel .38 Special Target Revolver. The Colt indicates a 1950 OFFICERS MODEL SPECIAL (what Fjestad calls FOURTH ISSUE) but the features and markings suggest it was made between 1935 – 1949, possibly a variant of the OFFICERS MODEL TARGET (THIRD ISSUE) according to Wilson, Serven and Fjestad references. The top of the barrel is marked in two Lines “COLT’S PT. FA. MFG. CO. HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A. / PAT’D. AUG. 5, 1884. JULY 4, 1905. OCT. 5, 1926.” The left side of the barrel is marked in staggered lines: “COLT/OFFICERS MODEL/38 / / *HEAVY BARREL*”. It has Colt’s Matted Topstrap and Screw-Adjustable + Friction Set-screw Windage-Only Target Rear Sight and a genuine, unmarked King’s Gun Sight Company of San Francisco Elevation-Adjustable Front Sight that has an large elevation range and large screws (no King’s mirror). The Asymmetric and Deep Border-Checkered (so-called “Cockeyed”) Jeweled Target Hammer Offset to the Left for the Right Thumb is typical of King’s Patent ; and the Extra-Long 180-degree Curved Trigger also could be King’s: Deeply Checkered and so wide and long that it nearly fills the Trigger Guard. What appear to be original 1st year Colt Python Grips cover the Frontstrap and Bottom of the Grip Frame leaving open the Factory Border-Checkered Backstrap. The Cylinder has a very light line that barely affects the bluing. Other condition and finish characteristics are shown in the photos. The barrel is bright; rifling is sharp; and mild-to moderate marking is present in the chambers ahead of the case mouth. This Revolver shows moderate wear for age, and I estimate the condition at 75-80 Percent Original Finish. Original box with factory test target, Colt provided operation pamphlet and marbles product insert accompany. The box is tattered on corners and tape has been added to structurally strengthen. Overall a neat little collectible Colt. Moving lots of great small items to reduce safe clutter.
