Colt Archive Properties - Collector Gun Sales

The C**t New Line models, one of C**t's earliest solid frame cartridge firing revolvers, saw prolific production from approximately 1873-1877, with many sold from inventory into the 1880's. These arms, totaling over 100,000 produced during their relatively short run of production, resulted in a large number of factory engraved arms.

This pair of the .22 caliber version (also offered in .30, .32, .38, and .41) are fine examples of these decorated pieces. Both are wearing factory ivory stocks, while they compliment each other with the remains of their original contrasting nickel & silver plated finishes. The nickel revolver features a very standard engraving pattern while the silver plated revolver features more coverage and a more intricate pattern of intertwined scroll.

Often thought of as some of the inspiration to the C**t Python, the King Gun Sight Company in San Francisco was well known in the 1920's through the late 1940's as performing high quality target shooting enhancements to a variety of C**t pistols & revolvers (among other makers as well). This post-WWII C**t Officer's Model features many of the finest King enhancements, including a wide spur hammer, a very light trigger pull, and King's signature full ventilated rib with mirrored front sight. These customizations often exceeded the price of the gun itself, and are an absolute pleasure to shoot.

One of the first 500 Model of 1911 pistols ever produced. Assembled on February 6, 1912, and shipped to Springfield Armory nine days later, this pistol is mostly original (with a few exceptions) with strong nitre blue on its appropriate small parts and much of the remaining high polish blue finish. Unfortunately, at some point in its life the "United States Property" and "Model of 1911 US Army" were removed. Even with these imperfections, serial number 417 remains a beautiful & near original example of C**t's earliest production of the Model of 1911.
