SCARCE BISLEY FLAT TOP TARGET SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 163163. Cal. 38 Colt.

It has 1-line block letter address on top of bbl with “(BISLEY MODEL) 38 COLT” on left side of bbl. It has 2-line patent dates and rampant Colt in a circle on left side of frame and is mounted with 2-pc rampant Colt hard rubber grips numbered to this revolver.
