Item Views: 3363
Item Interest: Very Active
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 448
Class: Modern Handgun
Bore Condition: The bore is excellent and is shiny with sharp rifling.
Description:

The Boa revolvers are essentially a special run for the Lew Horton Distributing Company of Colt Trooper Mark V revolvers fitted with Python barrels and finished in the desirable high polish blue found on the Pythons. Only 1,200 revolvers (600 in each barrel length and 100 matched sets, such as this one) were manufactured in 1985. Original consecutive sets like this in excellent condition are very hard to find. The revolvers are fitted with red ramped front and fully adjustable rear sights, and checkered panel grips with gold Rampant Colt medallions. The barrel is marked "BOA .357/.357 MAGNUM CTG." on the left and the Colt address on the right. Includes original Colt "woodgrain" box and original period advertisements dated February and March, 1985.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks, a very faint cylinder drag line, and crisp grip checkering on the replacement grip. Mechanically excellent. Box is very good.
