The factory letter lists this revolver as a Colt Bisley Target Revolver in .32/20 with a 7 1/2 inch barrel and blue finish. The type of stocks were not listed. It was the only gun of this type in a shipment to Sears, Roebuck & Co. in Chicago, Illinois, on March 29, 1910. Offered here is one of only 976 Colt Bisley Flattop Target revolvers produced in all calibers manufactured by Colt between 1894 and 1913 and only one of approximately 131 Bisley Flattop Targets chambered in .32 W.C.F. (see David Brown's "The 36 Calibers of the Colt Single Action Army," page 190). Brown explained, "The .32-20 W.C.F. cartridge had good range and accuracy. It is very easy to shoot, as it does not make the revolver buck as the larger calibers do." Matching serial numbers are marked on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. Provenance: The Charles Marx Collection

Fine with much of the original blue finish, gray and brown patina on the balance, light oxidation/pitting, and general mild wear. The grips are also very good with attractive colors, a chip at the heel on the right, and mild scratches and handling wear. Mechanically fine.
