FS - Colt New Service Revolver in .45 Long Colt

This is the 1909 version of the Colt New Service revolver, military issued sidearm. It has the lanyard ring and is stamped US ARMY on the butt and has what I think might have been the unit number it was issued to. Under the barrel is says United States Property. It had to have been manufactured between 1908 & 1916. It's obviously been refinished at some point but nicely done - the rollmarks are still crisp and there are no buffed out edges, everything still nice and sharp. It's not the tightest gun but it's not sloppy either. It shoots just fine, group about 1.5" at 12 yards. I've fired about 30 rounds of cowboy loads through it. Bore looks pretty fair. Hey, it's 100 years old! Nice piece of American Military History.
Asking $700.00 FTF in the Tampa area. 813-763-0829
