Description
A real Colt cowboy six shooter made one year after the Custer Massacre. .45 caliber. All matching serial numbers, mechanically perfect, with no repairs or replacements. Has factory letter from 1963 to the father of the man who sold me this. Barrel is 5.5 inches (shortened to this length) with a heavy front sight blade mounted on a base added when the barrel was shortened to gunfighter length.
When I bought this it was completely re-blued which is how the first collector got it in 1962. I had the cold-blue completely removed and then placed the gun in an environment box to rust naturally. The result is the rust brown patina you see here. The holster shown in the photos is NOT included. It was supposed to be, but apparently it has hidden somewhere or was snatched by a bad guy when I wasnt looking. Interestingly the cost of the Colt Factory Letter was $3 back then. The postage shown is 5cents.
United Parcel Service / UPS / Cost is $25.00 for materials, packing, shipping, and signature required. Insurance is extra at $1.50 per $100. As of 2021 UPS charges over six dollars just to obtain a signature. -- NO SHIPMENTS OUTSIDE USA --
