A) Colt Boa 357 Double Action Revolver with 6 Inch Barrel

Manufacturer: Colt
Model: Boa
Type: Revolver
Gauge: 357 magnum
Barrel: 6 inch vent rib
Finish: blue
Grip: walnut
Stock:
Item Views: 2442
Item Interest: Very Active
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 332
Class: Modern Handgun
Description:

Only manufactured in 1985 with a total production of only 1200, 600 being made with the 6 inch barrel (gun "A") and 600 made with the 4 inch barrel (gun "B"), and only 100 of these consecutively numbered sets were created and sold, making this set of revolvers even more rare. The entire production of Boa revolvers was purchased and marketed by Lew Horton Distributing Company in Southboro, Massachusetts, which is confirmed by the factory letters included with both of these revolvers. The factory letters also confirm serial numbers, calibers, barrel length, finish, and grip type for both revolvers. Includes hardwood display case that holds both "A" and "B" guns and Colt "woodgrain" boxes hand numbered to each gun.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retains 99% plus original finish with a few light handling marks, a faint cylinder drag line, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with some moderate edge wear and a couple minor tears.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retains 99% plus original finish with a few light handling marks, a faint cylinder drag line, and a couple light dings on the front strap side of the grips. Mechanically excellent. The incomplete box is fair with moderate wear, tears, tape repairs, and detached end flaps.
