Featured in this lot we have a circa 1910 first generation Colt Bisley single action army revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. The Colt Bisley Model was named for the famed Bisley Shooting Range in England and was an attempt by Colt to offer the Single Action Army revolver shooter an informal target single action option. With its lower hammer, curved trigger and sloping grip frame, the Bisley model found favor with those who preferred a different style and feel in their Colt Single Action revolver. The Bisley Model seemed to be especially popular in the Southwestern U.S. Considerably more scarce on the collector market today, the total number of Single Action Army revolvers manufactured by Colt reached over 357,000 before the start of World War II. Of this number, only 44,350 were in the Bisley configuration. The most popular caliber in the Bisley was the .32-20 and only a total of 12,613 Bisleys in all three standard barrel lengths combined (4 ¾”, 5 ½” & 7 ½”) were made in this desirable caliber of .38-40. The frame of the revolver displays matching serial numbers and was manufactured in 1910. The revolver displays a nickel finish with both the barrel and cylinder showing a blue'd finish indicating replacement parts. The revolver features 5 1/2" long round barrel, hard rubber grips, six-shot cylinder, single action trigger system, and side ejector rod. The top of the barrel is marked "Colt's PT. F.A. MFG Co. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." with the side marked "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .357 MAGNUM". The frame displays the Colt medallion logo with the patent dates. Mechanically the revolver shows a tight action with crisp trigger system. The revolver shows good condition overall with some wear across the exterior and wear on the checkered grips. The revolver weighs 2lbs 8oz. Serial Number: 313084. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.*
