Description:

Manufactured in 1907. The top of the barrel is marked with the one line address, "(BISLEY MODEL) 32 W.C.F." on the left side and the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt. The upper left front of the trigger guard is marked with the Colt "VP" triangle proof with "6" at the rear, and the matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and back strap. Standard blade front and frame notch rear sights, blue with casehardened frame and hammer, and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top. The accompanying factory letter verifies the 32/20 caliber, 5 1/2 inch barrel, blue finish with the grips as "Not Listed" and that it was shipped as 1 of 15 to Wyeth Hardware & Mfg. Company, St. Joseph, Missouri on October 14, 1907.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The revolver retains traces of original blue finish concentrated in the protected areas and very strong in the cylinder flutes. The frame retains strong original darkened case colors in the protected areas. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth gray patina. The grips are fair with a crude period repair on the front of the right panel, a minor crack on the left front and overall heavy wear. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
