Manufactured in 1906 with standard markings and features including "(BISLEY MODEL)"45 COLT" on the left side of the barrel. One of 8,005 manufactured in the desirable .45 Long Colt caliber. Matching numbers on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, and partial matching numbers on the inside of both grips. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration with grips not listed and shipped to St. Louis, Missouri on 23 July 1909.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus, retains 25% original blue finish and traces of original case colors concentrated mainly in sheltered areas, the grip straps showing mostly a brown patina, and the balance a smooth grey patina with a few patches of very light surface pitting. The grips are fine with some light handling marks and light wear. Mechanically excellent.
