This Colt Officers Model revolver in .38 Special is a second-issue target model made in 1918. It has about 75 percent blue mixed with patina and checkered walnut grips with deep dish medallions, which the seller describes as excellent. The seller rates the bore and the action as excellent as well, so the gun is described as sound in every working part. Its finish is a mix of blue and patina, which the seller describes in detail.

A collector of Colt target revolvers will value the second-issue configuration and the walnut grips, while a shooter who wants a .38 Special target revolver for range use also fits this gun. A buyer who plans to shoot it should check the ammunition and the action, since the seller lists both as excellent. Check your state's handgun rules, including age and permit requirements, before you order.
