.45 long Colt with a 5-1/2" barrel. Manufactured 1911 to 1912. The Colt Model 1909 is basically a New Service six shot double action revolver with the blued finish.

This example retains approximately 85% of the re-applied blue finish with wear on muzzle, high edges of cylinder and trigger guard. Grips are replaced, lanyard ring removed. Still has all the U.S. inspector marks. Mint bore and action. Frame legend has thinned out.
