Item Details
High Estimate2200
Low Estimate1800
serial #383522, 38 Special, 2" barrel with an excellent bore. This beautiful gun has been professionally reworked in the same guise as the famed "Fitz Special" sold in limited numbers by Colt. The concept was the brainchild of J. H. "Fitz" FitzGerald who was employed by Colt from 1918 to 1944 as spokesman, demonstrator and armorer. This lovely Detective Special retains 99% factory and factory quality reapplied blue finish with a faint turn ring on the cylinder and small ding on the backstrap. The cylinder and barrel appear to be factory original blue. The un-numbered checkered walnut factory grips with silver Colt medallions rate excellent. This gun has all the features of an authentic "Fitz Special": bobbed hammer, cut away trigger guard, corners of the butt rounded and intact single action notch. The revolver includes a factory letter dated March 27, 2017 indicating this gun left the factory as a standard Detective Special with 2" barrel, blue finish and 38-caliber. It was shipped to Clapp & Treat of Hartford Connecticut on October 9, 1929. The gun is in excellent condition and appears to have seen little if any use. (88211-34) {C&R}
