Extremely Rare Documented Special Order Silver Plated Sheriff's Model Colt Single Action Army Ejectorless Revolver with 7 1/2 Inch Barrel Pearl Grips and Factory Letter

This is a very unique example of a Sheriffs Model Single Action Army revolver with a 7 1/2 inch barrel. The accompanying factory letter verifies the caliber, barrel length, silver finish, grips as "Not Listed" and that it was shipped as 1 to Simmons Hardware Co. C/O W.E. Todd in St. Louis, Mo. On February 15, 1905. The top of the barrel is marked with the one-line Hartford address, the left side is marked "45 COLT" and the left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three patent dates followed by a very faint remnant of a circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and back strap (weak). Standard blade front and frame notch rear sights, and fitted with smooth pearl grips.

Poor. The metal surfaces have an artificial gray patina with some scattered minor pitting and signs of some cleaning some time ago. The grips are very good with some minor chipping on the tops, some minor discoloration and light handling marks. Unless noted above the markings are legible. The action is fine. A very rare documented 7 1/2 inch Sheriffs Model. Writer has never seen a documented Sheriffs Model in this barrel length.
