*BISLEY SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

SN 284227. Cal. 38 special. Blue and color case hardened with 7-1/2″ replacement bbl that has full thick front sight, 1-line block letter address and “(BISLEY MODEL) / COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .38 SPECIAL”. Left side of frame has 2-line 3 patent dates and Rampant Colt. It is mounted with Rampant Colt hard rubber grips. Left front web of the trigger guard is marked with the “VP” proof and a tiny “&”. The ampersand indicates that this revolver was reworked at the factory. Left side of front & backstraps, under the grip are marked with the assembly number 972, a further indication of factory rework. It is apparent that when this revolver was returned to Colt, in addition to refinishing the frame and grip frame, it had a 1930s style Single Action bbl & cyl installed. This would make an outstanding Cowboy Action shooter. PROVENANCE: Robert H. Haskell, III Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl, cyl and ejector housing retain all of their orig factory blue. Frame & hammer retain about all of their factory restored case colors. Front & backstraps and trigger guard retain about all of their factory restored blue. Grips are sound showing very little diamond point wear, having shrunk slightly. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore probably unfired. 4-50226 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1359
