Description: This Listing from a Family Collection of Shooting Sports Enthusiasts is a Used, Excellent Condition Colt .38 Special Mid-Range 1911-A1 Long Slide .38 Special Mid-Range Auto Pistol; Circa 1969; SN CS0024XX. Marked in Italics and Script on two staggered lines on the left side of the slide: “Clark” Long-Slide .38 / Shreveport, LA. making it a Vintage, Original Jim Clark; 6-Inch Barrel; .38 Mid-Range Match Pistol that comes with Three Clark .38 Mid-Range Wadcutter 5-Round Magazines. Sharp Stippling on the Frontstrap; BO-MAR / PAT. -marked Rear Sight and BO-MAR serrated-inset and Undercut Front Target Sight are typical of Jim Clark-Made Guns, as is the Matte top surface of the slide. Mainspring Housing is the Flat 1911 pattern with full coverage stippling. The inside-frame feed-ramp has Clark’s modification to feed rimmed .38 Special flush-loaded wadcutter cartridges; the barrel retains a 1911 style lug and link lockup (not simple blowback); and the short, narrow trigger has an unmarked shoe. Grips are “Ro Co” Ambidextrous, Matching-Grain Wood, Target Style with Deeply Stippled Panels. This Pistol shows little external finish wear, and the Match-Crowned Barrel appears in excellent condition with a bright bore and sharp rifling. Not being dealers or experts, we estimate this pistol at 95-98 Percent (or better) Modern Condition. Clark Tune-Up Records and a 50-Yard Test Target – which shows a smaller than 3-Inch group at 50 Yards – are Included. This pistol’s value derives from the Long Slide, .38 MR Caliber, Three Included Magazines, and Vintage Shreveport Address – before the later Princeton or Keithville locations.
