*COLT BISLEY FLAT TOP TARGET REVOLVER, INSCRIBED R.F. ENEWOLD, RENO, NEVADA.

SN 316151. 32/20 Cal. All blue finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, red dot target front sight in a rectangular base with 1-line block letter address and the left side marked “32 WCF”. Matching SN 316151 is found on bottom of frame, trigger guard and backstrap. Left side of frame has 2-line, 3-patent dates and rampant Colt in broken circle. Frame is flat top style with dovetailed fixed rear sight. Screws & trigger are fire blued. Mounted with 2-pc ivory grips. Accompanied by a Colt factory letter which identifies this revolver in caliber 32/20 with 7-1/2″ bbl, blue finish, stocks not listed, target or flat top, Lyman sight, sold to Geo. Tritch & Co., Denver, CO and shipped to W. L. Lucas address not listed on April 14, 1911 in a 1-gun shipment. Bbl does not as noted state “(BISLEY MODEL)” which is most often seen on production model target models after about SN 161,000. The grip frame is stamped in a cartouche “R.F. ENEWOLD” whose name is seen on other Colt products in the early 20th century. Robert F. Enewold we believe died quite recently at over 100 years of age. We don’t know much about his gunsmithing other than most of it appears to be mid 19th century and most likely he was responsible for the ivory stocks, king patented adjustable rear sight and more recent bbl without “(BISLEY MODEL)” markings. According to Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia by Keith Cochran, John Parsons compiled from careful examination of Colt shipping records that there were 977 Target Model Bisley revolvers produced in the period 1894-1913 of which only 131 are listed in 32-20 caliber. PROVENANCE: Chris Anderson, Carson City, NV. Lewis Yearout 1968. Estate Collection of Lewis & Leyton Yearout. CONDITION: Very fine overall retaining 70% thinning blue finish on bbl, frame and cyl. Trigger guard and backstrap retain over 40% blue finish with reductions on either side of grip strap where gun would have been held, remainder of gun is gray and cyl shows drag line as can be seen in photos. 2-pc ivory stocks fit gun fairly well with good aged patina. Mechanically gun functions well with bright shiny bore. 4-53892 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3116
