CONDITION: Excellent. The revolver retains 90% plus of the original high polish blue finish. ‘Feathered’ polishing marks are visible on either side of the front sight blocks. There is some light edge wear on the ejector housing and the finish on the top strap and back strap is thin. There is some very minor pitting on the barrel at the muzzle and one small spot of pitting on the side of the ejector housing. There is one small pitted
area and some scattered age discoloration on the cylinder. The rear sight, top of the hammer and sides of the trigger have most of the fiery niter blue finish. All of the markings are sharp. The grips are also excellent with nearly all of the original varnish and minor handling wear. Mechanically excellent. The exterior of the leather case is very good with flaking and flexing on the straps. The case interior and accouterments are fine. This is
an excellent example of a scarce London Agency Colt Bisley Flattop Target Model Revolver.
Provenance: The Gateway Collection.
Estimate: 20,000 - 30,000
