Colt New Model Army 1901 .38 Long Colt

[Von der Goltz]

Here's my Colt New Model Army of 1901 in .38 Long Colt serial number 199393 made in 1903. It was later reconditioned By Remington-UMC for service in the Great War, thus the two inspector marks RAC (Rinaldo A. Carr who was a civilian employee of the War Department and was the sub-inspector on the revolvers) who initially inspected the pistol and LEB (Leroy E. Briggs who was an Army Captain that inspected revolvers rebuilt and refurbished at Remington-UMC's Bridgeport CT Plant 1898-1917).

Verrrry nice indeed! Shoot it yet?

 

[Reinz]

Nice piece.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Gorgeous! How many broken springs does it have?

Just kidding,! Well, sorta.......

 

[Kleanbore]

Wow!

 

[Von der Goltz]

No broken springs; it's in rather good shape for a 1903 revolver! I have a few boxes of .38 Long Colt black powder ammo and will post range report when I shoot it.

I have one of those too.

One of only two Colt revolvers that I've ever kept. The other being a 1917.

I'm such a sucker for a factory-installed lanyard loop that it will even sway my disinclination towards Colt's DA revolvers.

That is a very nice revolver @Von der Goltz
I look forward to hearing about how it shoots.
The rifling in the barrel looks great as do the chambers in the cylinder. I am impressed with the overall appearance of your revolver. Very nice.

Took the revolver out to the range the other day and it performed flawlessly with .38 Long Colt black powder ammo on steel targets at 25 and 50 yrds. Here's the shipping info:
