I have acquired a 1933 colt fitz detective special. I just got the letter of authentication from colt that it is a factory fitz. Any ideas of a value. Its in great condition. Thanks

Pics of document and others of the revolver would be helpful.

Did Fitz not always bob the hammers? Either way, just being an authentic Fitz is cool in my book.

I sold one in about 90 percent condition with the correct grips and the original box in horrible condition for $8800 several months ago. That was a buddy price that went to a fellow forum member. Unfortunately it went to pay bills from my back surgery.

I saw one in the original box get auctioned off at James Julia for $10,000 a couple years back. I think that the bobbed hammer spur was optional. I think these are seen both ways.

Thanks guys for the info. Now I just need to decide if I really want to sale it or hang onto it.

If you decide to sell please let me know.

Are the grips also from the factory or added later? I have a 1935 Det Special with similar grips

The letter doesn't state what grips it had from factory. Colt said they came with many different style grips as they were all mostly custom ordered.

With the factory letter saying it's for real,,,,,, I'd hang onto it!!!

Too late. He's already got bids.
You cannot withdraw or cancel your sale auction if bids have been placed. If there aren't bids, you can cancel.
