OUTSTANDING U.S. ARMY MODEL 1909 COLT REVOLVER WITH UNIT MARKED RIG, BELT AND AMMUNITION. COLT 1909 43507 45 MODERN; C&R Cal. 45 Colt. New Service pattern revolver adopted by the US Army in 1909. 5-1/2" bbl with 2-pc walnut Service stocks equipped with lanyard loop. Boldly inspected "RAC" for Rinaldo A. Carr, US inspector. Marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" on bottom of bbl, with numbers matching walnut grips. Offered with its unit marked butt forward carry "US" marked holster, ammunition pouch and proper military belt and sword carrier. Unit marking on flap of holster "K,309,CAV". Included with this rig are 3 packages of Frankford Arsenal 20-rnds per box ball cartridges marked for the Model of 1909 and dated 1911. Two boxes have a re-inspection date of 1913. CONDITION: Very fine overall with slight finish wear in typical areas of muzzle and high points from holster carry with finish worn and thinning on straps and trigger guard. Slight flecking of finish on cylinder and in limited areas on forward section of frame and sides of bbl, with approximately 70% finish overall with balance thinning to plum. One small area of pitting exists on left sideplate above grip and additional small spot on right side forward of grip. Bore and mechanics are excellent as this is an extremely fine example of the Model 1909 as most of these guns were hard used and are rarely encountered in any type of good condition. 51696-15 TDW (3,500-5,500)
