    Question Colt New Service almost a Fitz Special

    Just acquired this Colt 1917 New Service Revolver. It's chambered for 45 ACP and was made in 1920. Excellent shape and beautifully gunsmithed. Not quite a Fitz Special (hammer not bobbed), but barrel and grip shortened and sight put back on barrel. Shoots great. Any idea what something like this is worth? Rudy

    Ohhhhhhh, that is so funny, I have tears running down now from laughing so much.

    Where might one find such a 'gif' or whatever it is, for their own, inevitable future use?



    Anyway, I too eagerly await the images of the OP's New Service.

    And I too suffered far more than most have, in trying to learn how to post Images in a forum.

    Just right-click on the one above and copy the url. You can then save it.

    Thumbs up

    Very nice Fitz Special Ed Rudolph!
    It looks a lot like my S&W 1917 Army.

    I'm kind of surprised that I like these rounded grip frames. Looks like the gunsmith was a Broohandle Mauser fan.
