Description:

Confirmed by the included Colt factory letter this example of a Detective Special revolver was an experimental model kept by the Colt factory. The letter also confirms the caliber, 2 3/16" shrouded barrel, finish and absent grips. The left side of the barrel has the two line model/caliber marking, left barrel side has the two line Hartford marking, and unmarked side plate.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, missing grip. The revolver retains over 95% original blue finish with some minor scratches and light track lines on the cylinder. The back strap has some minor thinning and spotting. The trigger retains 80% blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The cylinder does not rotate when the action is cycled.
