Manufactured in 1899, this is one of only 976 Bisley Flattop Target revolvers manufactured by Colt between 1894 and 1913, and only one of 17 Bisley Target Model revolvers reportedly chambered for the 32 S&W cartridge, making this revolver even rarer. When introduced in 1894, the Colt factory designated the Flattop Target Bisley as the "Model of 1894". The Bisley name was adopted after the revolver proved itself at international matches in Bisley, England. The top of the barrel is marked "COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. Co. HARTFORD. CT. U.S.A.", the left side is marked "(BISLEY MODEL) FOR 32 S & W CTG." Writer imagines it was difficult for Colt to mark one of their products with the competitors brand, "S&W". The left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three patent date marking followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. The rear face of the cylinder has the last three digits "826" of the serial number stamped. The revolver features a nickel silver pinned front blade and dovetailed rear sights, all blue finish with a casehardened hammer, wide, low hammer spur with a niter blue trigger and characteristic "humpback" grip. Fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top.
