What’s Included
- Colt Bisley Model Frontier Six Shooter .44-40 revolver
The Bisley configuration delivers the distinctive low, wide, checkered hammer spur and revised grip frame developed for improved single-action control. This example is a six-shot, single-action revolver with a six-flute cylinder and a right-side ejector-rod housing with a circular head, consistent with early 20th-century production.
Its 4.75-inch barrel wears fixed sights, combining a fixed blade front with a topstrap groove rear. The barrel is specifically marked "(BISLEY MODEL)" over "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER," the classic rollmark signifying .44-40 WCF chambering.
Markings are in line with Colt practices of the era, including the top-of-barrel address "COLT'S PT. F. A. MFG. CO.
HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." and a two-line patent marking on the left frame. Matching serial numbers are observed on the trigger guard and backstrap, adding desirable continuity to the revolver’s major components.
Factory-style checkered black hard-rubber grips with Rampant Colt medallions complete the period-correct configuration. Fixed sights, single-action operation, and the Bisley-pattern frame make this 1907 Colt a notable representative of the Frontier Six Shooter line.
