Description:

Manufactured in 1907, and shipped to Norvell Shapleigh Hardware Co. on July 17 of that year, as part of a set of six. Fixed blade front sight, one line barrel address on top of barrel and "(BISLEY MODEL)/ COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER" roll engraved on the left side. The frame has the two line, three date patent markings beside the circled Rampant Colt on the left side. Serial numbers on frame, trigger guard, and backstrap all match. Wide, low hammer spur with wide trigger and characteristic "humpback" grip. Checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colt emblem at the top. The documents included are copies of original documents prepared by the ATF and Colt Manufacturing Company. The ATF, Colt Historical Research Department, and Colt Firearms Control Staff researched each firearm. This was part of an ATF investigation to ensure that each of the firearms were in fact original and not forgeries or renumbered in any way. The facts on the research information sheets are directly from the Colt records and Colt Historical Research Department.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with approximately 30% of the original blue finish. A mixed gray and brown patina is forming on the surface, and some light handling marks are present. The frame has silvered out, with some traces of the bright case color. The grips are fine as replacements, with some material missing from the top of the right grip, and some scratches and dings. Action is excellent.
