Scarce Colt Bisley Flattop Target Revolver with Factory Letter

Manufactured in 1907. This is one of only 976 Bisley Flattop Target revolvers manufactured by Colt between 1894 and 1913. It has target sights, a barrel marked with the one-line address on top and "(Bisley Model) 32 W.C.F." on the left side, a frame with the two-line patent dates marking followed by a circled Rampant Colt and a trigger guard with the Colt verified proof and "6". Matching serial numbers are on the frame and both grip straps. The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver as a target model with a 7 1/2 inch barrel (currently 6 inches) in .32/20, blue finish and type of stocks not listed (as was the practice by Colt). It was shipped to Chas. J. Godfrey Co. of New York City on October 3, 1907.

ConditionFine as modified with the barrel shortened. The revolver retains 90% high polish refinished blue finish with patches of patina on the cylinder. The hammer and trigger retain nearly all of their respective finishes. The slightly oversized grips are fine with a minor chip missing near a screw (left panel). Mechanically excellent.
