Coltautos.com Gun of the Month - August 2000
|
Colt Model 1905 serial number 246. This was the sixth gun shipped with the cut for the optional Combination Stock/Holster. Interestingly, of the 440 pistols which were shipped with the Stock/Holsters, there were 38 that were not. This pistol letters as a one gun shipment to W. Bingham & Co. on March 8, 1906 and the letter indicates that it was shipped with the stock/holster. There are no signs on the gun that it's ever had a stock/holster attached.
