Description:

Offered is a Colt Officers Model Target chambered in the .38 Special with the very desirable 7 1/2” barrel. This gun was part of the shipment of 250 Colt Officers Model Targets that were shipped to England through Winchester Repeating Arms Co. in 1940 as part of the Battle of Britain armament for their defense against Germany in WWII. The gun was British proofed upon arrival in England and then housed in a canvas and leather trunk style case that was supplied through the Army and Navy Co-Operative Society in London. The case accessories include an empty Kynoch box for .38 Special cartridges, cleaning rod, oil bottle and screwdriver. The gun remains in 99% condition and looks to have never been fired. The bore is new as is the action. A Colt Archive letter is also included. A wonderful piece of WWII history in a condition that would be difficult to improve on. This gun is over 50 years old and meets the requirements of the C&R license. I offer a three-day non-firing inspection period and always want the buyer to be satisfied with their purchase. The gun will be packed correctly and shipped with insurance to your FFL dealer in the continental United States for $65 (California is extra because I have to ship through my local dealer). This gun requires a C&R or FFL license for transfer. I ship the following day after the payment arrives and provide tracking information. Please see my other collectible firearms that I have listed. Thanks for your interest and please let me know if you have any questions.
