1917 Model Colt Revolver ... authentic, excellent condition

Post by dirtyepic129 »

My dad recently showed me a gun passed down to him from his Aunt. It's a 1917 Model Colt and looks to be in great condition. It likely still shoots. I think I'd get in a bit of trouble carrying this around. Regardless, I told him that I want this going to me in his will.

That’s a beauty WW1 or earlier I bet. Be careful with it especially where you’re at

An amendment is appropriate here :lol: I'm actually currently in America, moving to England next month. The gun is my father's and is staying with him in the States. :) Thanks for the concern (and thanks to those that PM'ed me).

Awesome gun! By the way, where's the class ring from? Looks a lot like an Aggie ring. :) :tup:
