5 1/2"
This is an UNTOUCHED high condition Bisley in .32-20 (.32WCF) Marked “(Bisley Model)” on barrel. Hard to find 5 1/2″ barrel. SN 286685 approx 1906 manufacture. The Colt Bisley was not produced in large quantity and this example is far above average.
Original bright blue. Blue thinning on sides of barrels from holster wear. Strong original color case hardening. Scattered pinprick oxidation, not pitted. Screws are untouched with original fireblue. Original fireblue on trigger. The hard rubber grips are the nicest that I have ever seen…virtually no wear. (matching to the gun). The only fault on this gun is the cylinder pin has been marred by pliers…an easy replacement.
Crisp mechanics…very crisp. Distinct 4 clicks. Cylinder locks up perfectly. Great bore, strong lands. This early colt has seen very little use.
