Manufactured in 1900, this is one of only 976 Bisley Flattop Target revolvers manufactured by Colt between 1894 and 1913, and one of only 17 Bisley Target Model revolvers reportedly chambered for the 32-44 S&W cartridge, making this revolver even rarer. The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 7 1/2 inch barrel in .32-44 caliber, blue finish and stocks not listed when shipped to Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. of Chicago, Illinois, on May 2, 1900. The barrel has the one-line Hartford address on top and "(BISLEY MODEL) FOR 32-44 S & W CTG." on the left side. The left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three patent date marking followed by the circled Rampant Colt. Matching numbers are marked on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The rear face of the cylinder has the matching last three digits ("467") of the serial number. The revolver features pinned front blade and dovetailed rear sights, all blue finish with the exception of the casehardened hammer, and distinctive flattop frame.

Fine. The revolver retains 40% plus bright original high polish blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. There are some scattered minor-moderate handling/storage marks. The sun faded grips are also fine with some minor handling evidence and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. A rare caliber of the Bisley Target model usually absent from even the most advanced Colt collections.
