Properly I.D. this Colt and WIN an all Paid..

Ok ill play..looks like a officers model target

I'm in...Considering his era as "Two Gun Limbert" I'd have to say Colt 1917 Army probably.

He has target grips on the one in the Holster....Does that confuse you more.....

Those are after market grips he bought on Ebay.

I will say Army Special, which has been 'converted' to a 'Target' Style.

I can not even see the Stocks on the Holstered one, but, looks like a nice Holster!


"Four Broken Ribs"..!!! Huh??? What the heck did you do? Eeeeeesh!


Does it hurt when you laugh? Or Sneeze? ( I bet it does!!! Been there myself! )

How About a different picture with Factory Grips....

'Late' Army Specials, 'converted' to have Target Style Sights.

Confession Time...I don't know what they are..That is why I posted the question and I'm not sure that the Guns in the last picture are the same as the ones in the Original Post...BUT I thought it interesting..

Playing Santa, delivering Gifts to Neighbors + Black Ice + Freezing Temperatures= "E" Coupon Ride at Disney or 4 broken ribs..Could have been worse...

In which State is Nowhere.....?

Top Strap looks 'rounded' to me, which would suggest this is a regular Revolver, modified after-market, to have Target Sights...rather that being a Colt Factory Target Model proper.

Hence, likely, a late Army Special ( and, not an 'Officers Model' ).

I looked at the pictures, what little they reveal and the poster pin up in person, and concluded that there is insufficient evidence to come to any certain conclusion. BUT I don't think the revolvers in the first photo's are the same as the ones in the last photo. I do think they have been altered in some respects, I clearly see a thumb rest on the one revolver in the first photos still in the holster, but it's a left handed. So I'm guessing that these are some promontional photo's he had done to promote one of his many activities and the guns were changed to fill a void in the picture.

all I know is that they are double action revolvers. OMM? I thought cowboys only carried single actions. cool pictures.

Kid: So where is your note from the Lady of the House explaining your absence for the last several months? Do you think you can just show up here again after being gone for so long without an explanation?

(Well, you can of course, but some of us thought maybe you headed to that last roundup in the sky without saying goodbye. Welcome back!)

OMM?

The OMM was not introduced until 1952, LONG after "Two Gun Bob" posed for those pictures. Perhaps they are OMT revolvers, but certainly not OMM revolvers.

Kid, everyone's guesses are going to be better than mine; I just wanted to say 'welcome back', get mended up quickly and stay off that ice without ice skates!
