Description Update 11-15-2024: Blue rates closer to 97-98%

serial #336452, 44-40 W.C.F., 4 1/2'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. In the Depression era early 1930's, Colt initiated several parts cleanup programs to use up older parts and Model 1917 frames to reduce cost per unit and infuse some much needed cash into their business. This lovely 1933-dated New Service is one of those guns and falls into the general serial number range. It remains in excellent condition with about 99% original blue showing very light edge wear and handling marks, the barrel finish darker than the remaining surfaces. The fully checkered walnut factory grips are scratch-numbered to another gun, feature silver Rampant Colt medallions, and remain in superb condition. This gun features the older square thumb latch, the last patent date on the barrel is July 4, 1905, and it has the earlier smooth trigger. It includes a factory letter that indicates this gun shipped as described in a 48 gun order to Wolf & Klar Wholesale Sporting Goods Co., Fort Worth, Texas, on February 2, 1938. This gun has several desirable and collectible features including a limited run, shipment to the noted wholesalers Wolf & Klar, and superb overall condition. A fine niche gun to add to your collection. (8B11616-4) {C&R} (2500/4000)
