1903 Colt New Police .32 Colt w/ a 2.5" Nickel Pearl Stocks Colt Archives Letter!

If you are a collector of early pre-war (pre-WW1) Colt revolvers, then you will want to take a very close look at this little jewel.

‘Dirty Harry’ is proud to offer you this absolutely gorgeous 1903 Colt New Police .32 Colt w/ a 2.5" barrel and a factory Nickel finish. This is an amazing pistol folks! It has obviously been very well cared for and meticulously maintained over the past 123 years. This is a no excuses collector-grade revolver in every sense of the term.

Overall condition is rated at a conservative 98% throughout. The factory original finish remains brilliant & mirror-like w/ zero flaking, high edge wear, or grip strap wear, etc. If you look very closely you can find a few hairline scratches and very small oxidation spots, that do not show up in the photos. This pistol appears to be unfired since new, as the cylinder face, recoil shield, and forcing cone are completely clean, and do not show any use whatsoever. The fire blue on the trigger, hammer, screws, and pins is very strong, and there is no wear on the fire blue on the front of the trigger. All mechanical functions appear to be perfect w/ crisp action, tight lockup, and the bore is bright & shiny w/ strong lands and grooves. Again, it is an absolutely amazing pistol, especially for its age. It wears a stunning set of what are certainly dealer-installed pearl stocks that have a brilliant tri-color glow, and remain in the same minty condition as the gun itself.

According to the Colt Archives letter, it was shipped to A. Combaluzier in Mexico City, Mexico, on May 18, 1903. The Combaluzier shop was founded in 1867 and was a major distributor of fine Colt handguns of that era. After doing some research, I see that most of the nickel pistols sold by this distributor have pearl stocks just like the set that this revolver wears.

Recap: this amazing pistol is in 'mint' condition and appears to be unfired since new. It resides in a reproductions box w/ paperwork, and includes aforementioned Colt Archives letter. Someone could search for a lifetime and never upgrade this stunning 123-year-old Colt revolver.
