In 95% all matching condition, we have a clean example of the Colt Model 1901 U.S. Army Revolver. This is one of the many upgrades of the Colt Model 1892 series of US Army Revolvers. This is a very early production example serial numbered in the low 4,000’s. This is early enough to still have cartouched grips as well. These revolvers are more famous for their perceived shortcomings than for their success; They were widely disparaged for not having enough stopping power in combat during the Moro Rebellion in the Philippines. Never the less they were probably more potent than most of the military handguns of the period and they were still in active service along with the larger .45 caliber handguns through at least the end of WWI. This is a nice example of a turn of the century US Army Service Revolver.
