These Bisley revolvers were designed by Colt with accuracy and target shooting in mind, two traits that also made them widely popular with those who depended on them for protection. Those traits, along with the caliber of this example, would have made it an ideal sidearm for a gunslinger, lawman, or rancher of the American West, who could pair it with a Winchester lever action in the same caliber. Manufactured in 1904, the top of the barrel has the single-line address, while the Bisley Model and Frontier Six Shooter markings are on the left. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. It is fitted with a blade front sight, groove rear sight, and a unique pair of smooth bone grips with carved borders and German silver butt plates. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration (grips not listed) as well as shipment to F. Wilmanns & Co. in Durango, Mexico on 10 May 1904.

Good, retains faint traces of the original blue finish and case colors, the balance showing mostly a smooth grey patina, typical of a revolver that saw significant frontier use, and some scattered small patches of light pitting. The unique period replacement grips are fine with some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically fine. An interesting Mexico shipped Bisley Model Frontier Six Shooter that has the look of a frontier sidearm!
