NO RESERVE!! Here's a rather nice, fairly early production, Colt New Service revolver. This was Colt's first large frame, swing-out cylinder double-action revolver. First introduced in 1898, the New Service (and it's variations) would serve in military, police and civilian roles through WWII. This revolver is chambered for the .45 Colt cartridge. It wears an impressive 7-1/2" long barrel with fixed service sights. Condition is far above average and this revolver retains about 93-94% of the original high polish blue finish that was found on Colts prior to WWI. Unfortunately there is some rust freckling scattered about and a few spots of minor pitting. Still...a very handsome gun! Bright fire blue is present on the trigger and screws, the hammer is case colored. Comes with a set of old mother-of-pearl grips that are in very good shape with one surface crack at the top of the right panel. The mechanics are in perfect working order with proper timing and solid lock-up (with trigger held to the rear). The bore is very good and is mostly bright with sharp rifling but with some shallow fine pitting mid-bore that would not affect the shootability of the revolver. According to the serial number, this particularly strong and heavy weapon was made back in 1903. A very nice 109-year-old Colt big-bore revolver.
