Post by: Tascosa Joe on April 06, 2024, 07:50:13 PM

I will try to get Major 2 to post a couple pictures of it.
1899 4 3/4" .45 Letters to Factory Nickel and Ivory.  It has blue screws, they were not listed in the letter. SN: 179XXX.

Ooo-wee that's nice! I think during a certain period blue screws were standard on nickel guns so they might not have been noted in the letter.

Roger, thank you for posting the pictures.  LSP, thanks for the kind words.  I have thought about asking on the Colt Collectors Forum to see what they know about blue screws on nickel.  The old girl shows honest wear, but she was not abused.
