Seller's Description
NO RESERVE!! Here's a pre-WWI Colt Model 1909 U.S. Army double-action revolver. The
Model 1909 is chambered for the .45 Long Colt as opposed to its more common cousin
the Model 1917 which chambers .45 ACP. Most of the production run of 22,000 Colt
1909's were shipped to our troops in the Philippines who were fighting insurgents and
Moro tribesmen following the conclusion of the Spanish American War. The .38 Caliber
revolvers that were currently in service had proved inadequate at stopping determined
attackers...the big .45 caliber Colt stepped up to the task. This revolver has properly
matching serial numbers on the butt, frame, yoke, cylinder release, and both grip panels.
The right side of the frame is marked with army inspectors initials F.B. (Maj. Frank
Baker) and R.A.C. (Rinaldo A. Carr). The R.A.C. inspection mark is also found on the rear
of the cylinder, on the underside of barrel, and on the bottom of each grip panel. The
underside of the barrel is marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY". The tropical Philippine
environment was very hard on the finish of these guns and most show heavy wear or
have been refinished. This revolver is an exception and remains in very nice, completely
original condition. This beauty retain the vast majority of the factory original bright blue
finish. The finish does show some normal minor handling wear and there are a few small
areas of light surface corrosion, but no deep pitting. The grip straps even retain most of
their original finish. All of the the markings are crisply struck and clearly legible. Vivid
fire blue is present on the trigger, back of hammer, screws and pins. The ejector rod
head is correctly case colored and the side of the hammer polished bright. The factory
original smooth walnut grips are in very fine condition without cracks and show only
minor handling wear. The mechanics are in perfect working order with good timing and
solid lock-up. The bore is also excellent with bright, sharp rifling. This revolver was
shipped to Manila in the Philippines on October 15, 1910.
I personally love these early Colt high-polish blue revolvers and it's always a real treat to
see a military revolver with this much finish. This is a very handsome revolver that would
make a great addition to any U.S. Military collection!
