Found another great gun

MBG · 10-14-2009

OK, so I was rummaging through my closet tonite when I found an old duffle bag that was my dads. Guess what was in it? A 1921 Colt New Service Revolver in 45 Colt!

Whoohoo, I thought this had been lost years ago! He was very proud of this gun. That makes 2 excellent pistols he left me (albeit, he probably never considered I'd have them as he died in '77)

Any Colt collectors on here? I'll try to remember to take some pics.
