Highly Desirable
Consecutive Pair of Colt Boa Double Action Revolvers with Boxes
-A) Colt Boa Revolver - Serial no. BOA0591, 357 Magnum cal., 4 inch vent rib bbl., Royal Blue finish, rosewood grips. Only 1,200 Colt Boa revolvers (600 in each barrel length alternating 4 inch on the odd
serial numbers and 6 inch on the even) were manufactured in 1985, according to page 55 of “Blue Book Pocket Guide for Colt Dates of Manufacture” by Wilson. The Colt Boa revolvers are a limited special
run for the Lew Horton Distributing Company of Colt Trooper Mark V revolvers fitted with Python barrels and finished in the desirable high polish Royal Blue finish usually found on the Pythons. Both
revolvers are fitted with red ramped front and adjustable rear sights as well as checkered panel grips with gold Rampant Colt medallions. The barrels are marked “BOA .357/.357 MAGNUM CTG.” on the left and
show the Colt address on the right. Original consecutive sets like this in excellent condition are very hard to find and are highly sought after by collectors. Includes its original factory “wood grain” box.
CONDITION: Excellent, retaining 99% original Royal Blue finish with minor handling evidence, very faint partial cylinder drag line, and a slight plum hue to the cylinder catch. The grips show a few minor handling marks and sharp
checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good. B) Colt Boa Revolver - Serial no. BOA0592, 357 Magnum cal., 6 inch vent rib bbl., Royal Blue finish, rosewood grips. As described in “A”. Per the included letter and partial
work order, the original buyer had the barrel replaced early in the gun’s life. Includes an unnumbered factory “wood grain” box (end label absent).
CONDITION: Excellent, retaining 98% Royal Blue finish on with a slight plum hue to the cylinder release and faint partial cylinder drag line. There is a small ding on the left heel of the otherwise excellent grips with sharp checkering.
Mechanically excellent. The box is very good. Do not miss this chance to own this highly desirable consecutive set of Colt Boa revolvers!
