Early Colt Police Positive TARGET revolver in .22 Long Rifle chambering. This high condition Colt with serial number 13210 was made 110 years ago in 1915. It displays nearly all of the original Colt high polish blue on the barrel, cylinder, frame, grip straps, trigger guard, ejector rod etc. Further it retains the desirable fire blue on the hammer back and trigger. The original Colt embossed grips are also in excellent condition. This is the flat top adjustable sight version of the famed Colt Police Positive and was considered the state of the art target rim fire revolver of the early part of the 20th century. All markings are sharp and clear including the rampant colt on the left side of the frame, and the address and last patent date of 1905 on the barrel top. These early target Colts were very popular with both target shooters and outdoorsmen seeking a .22 revolver for field use. During this time, these fine revolvers were hand fitted, hand tuned and hand polished by Old World craftsmen working for Colt. The action and trigger pull on these early revolvers have to be felt to be fully appreciated. The action is tight with no play in the cylinder when the hammer is cocked and let half-way down (this is when the cylinder locks into place in alignment with the bore on a Colt for shooting). A superb revolver that would be too expensive to manufacture today. Very difficult to find in any condition and this one is a superior example. The revolver weighs 1lbs 6oz. Serial Number: 13210. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
