    OK, so I was rummaging through my closet tonite when I found an old duffle bag that was my dads. Guess what was in it? A 1921 Colt New Service Revolver in 45 Colt!

    Whoohoo, I thought this had been lost years ago! He was very proud of this gun. That makes 2 excellent pistols he left me (albeit, he probably never considered I'd have them as he died in '77)

    Any Colt collectors on here? I'll try to remember to take some pics.

    Now that is a tremendous find and I can imagine the joy you felt when you discovered your Dad's old Colt. Please try to remember to post some photos of it. Thanks.

    I have owned many Colt New Service revolvers and love them. Right now I only have 2- a 1937 mfr.
    military model that is of course is a .45acp and a 1926 that has been semi-Fitz'd by a previous owner
    and it has a 2in. bbl, glass smooth action and S&W adjustable sights, caliber is .45 Colt.
