Description:

Manufactured from 1920 to 1941, however only 63 experimental/prototype units were made from 1920 to 1926 prior to regular production starting in 1926. Due to the very limited production, the Camp Perry Pistol is one of the least encountered of all Colt cartridge firearms with a total production of about 2,425. Manufactured in 1927, this model was created by modifying an Officer's Model frame to accept a special flat single shot "cylinder". Colt named this model after the site of the U.S. Target Competition held annually at Camp Perry, Ohio. Standard "CAMP PERRY MODEL" stamped on the left side of the "cylinder". Two line address/patent dates on top of the barrel and caliber on the left side. Matching serial number on the crane and left side of the frame under the grip panel and stamped on the inside of each grip panel. Elevation adjustable front blade sight and windage adjustable rear sight. Flat top frame and checkered grips with Colt medallions.

Rating Definition:

Excellent plus. The pistol retains 99% of the original bright blue finish with only a couple of very tiny dings and light scratches, and light handling marks. The grips are excellent with only a small ding on the left panel and sharp checkering. Sharp markings. Mechanically excellent. An exceptional Camp Perry that would be difficult to improve on.
