Had a table at a small gun show today to reduce some of the collection. Did NOT plan on buying anything! Yeah right! Then a privateer walks up with this Colt he had for sale that I knew absolutely nothing about. The piece looked somewhat old and worn, but well cared for anyhow for it's age (he said late 30's production).
The guy rambled on about how this was some revolver in it's day. That it was customized by Colt's "King" custom shop sometime "way back when". I really didn't care for any stories. Then I squeezed the trigger! This is the best trigger I have ever pulled on any revolver. Had to have it just for the trigger. Asking price $350, settling price $250. I cannot be more thrilled with the purchase, even if I did pay too much.
Still don't know anything about this revolver or whether I did well on the purchase or not? Would like any info or input on the piece if anyone knows anything about this Colt "King" custom .38 Special? Photo attached. Thanks in advance.
