Manufactured in 1905, this is one of only 13,291 Bisley Model Single Action Army revolvers chambered in .32 W.C.F. These Bisley revolvers were designed by Colt with accuracy and target shooting in mind, making .32 W.C.F. which was known for its accuracy a popular caliber in the model. The same accuracy that made these revolvers popular with target shooters also endeared them to people on the Western Frontier who depended on their sidearm for survival. The top of the barrel is marked with the one-line address while the model and caliber marking are on the left. The left of the frame is marked with the two-line patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard, and back strap, which is also non-factory marked "CG". It is fitted with blade front and frame-top groove rear sights and a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts at the tops. Includes an unmarked, attractive, tooled leather holster that is set up in a shoulder-wear configuration.
Very good plus, retains 25% of the original blue finish and 50% of the original case colors, primarily in sheltered areas, with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, typical of guns that spent time as a sidearm in the American West. The grips are also fine with some mild wear, some scattered light handling marks, and well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fine with mild wear.
