*SCARCE COLT CAMP PERRY SINGLE SHOT TARGET PISTOL.

*SCARCE COLT CAMP PERRY SINGLE SHOT TARGET PISTOL. SN 1231. Cal. 22 LR. Blue finish with 10″ tapered rnd bbl and adjustable front & rear sights. Bbl has 2-line address with caliber marking on left side. This unusual pistol is a single shot with the appearance of a revolver that has integral breech block in what would be the cyl opening with flutes that resemble a cylinder. It even has a Colt style revolver latch on sideplate. Sideplate has the rampant Colt. Frame is flat top and it is mounted with checkered rampant Colt silver medallion walnut grips. According to The Book of Colt Firearms, Wilson, these scarce pistols were built on Officer’s Model frames without recoil shields and only 2,488 were produced in period 1920-1941. Apparently Colt did not aggressively pursue marketing of this pistol as is evidenced by the fact that the first Camp Perry pistols appeared in 1920 but saw only limited distribution until about 1926. Shortly thereafter came the Great Depression and such luxuries as small bore single shot target pistols were not in great demand. By the outbreak of WWII production has ceased making this a very seldom encountered Colt pistol. CONDITION: Extremely fine, may have been fired but if so, very little. Overall retains about 98% strong glossy orig Colt blue with only slight muzzle edge wear and a few small spots of rust on the sideplate. Grips show light diamond point wear. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-44193 JR79 (1,500-2,500)
