Description: FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: COLT OFFICERS MODEL TARGET 3rd ISSUE, CHAMBERED IN .38 SPECIAL, SERIAL # 780659.(APPROX 1948) THERE IS A INTERESTING STORY BEHIND THIS PISTOL. THIS BELONGED TO MY GRANDFATHER WHO PASSED AWAY IN 1973 IN HIS EARY 80'S. THE COLT WAS LOCKED IN THE GUN CABINET ALONG WITH THE OTHER FAMILY GUNS UNTIL MY BACHELOR UNCLE PASSED AWAY ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO AT 83, HAVING LIVED IN THE SAME HOUSE AND IT CAME TO ME, HIS ONLY NEPHEW ( I'M NOW 58).I WOULD SAFELY ESTIMATE THAT THIS COLT HAS NOT BEEN FIRED SINCE THE EARLY 1960'S IF THAT, SINCE GRANDAD HAD GOTTEN SEDIMENTARY AS THE LATER YEARS APPROCHED AND MY UNCLE HUNTED OCCASSIONLY BUT WAS NOT A SHOOTING ENTHUSIAST. THE COLT HAS BEEN UNFIRED SINCE IT CAME TO ME. IT IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION, TIGHT ACTION, EXCELLENT BORE, VERY FAINT DRAG LINES ON THE CYLINDER, FINISH IS EXCELLENT, A TINY BLEMISH ON ONE OF THE CYLINDER FLUTES AND A VERY MINOR BIT OF BLUING WEAR AT THE VERY FRONT TIP OF THE BARREL, ORIGINAL COLT GRIPS. I EVEN HAVE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PROOF TARGET (SORRY, COULD NOT FIND THE BOX!) AN EXCEPTIONAL EXSAMPLE OF A COLT OFFICERS MATCH TARGET THAT IS IN ORIGINAL UNALTERED CONDITION.

Condition: Used, Minor Wear

Caliber: .38 Special
