Item Description
Bryant Ridge Auction Company is pleased to present this unique single-shot pistol for a penny-start auction today...this is the Colt Rock Island Arsenal Centennial Model!
There were only 550 of these guns manufactured in 1962 with a serial number range of 1RIA-550RIA. This particular example is number 309 out of 550!
The thing that makes these examples so unique is the fact the gun is made for presentation, but has the ability to be taken apart and a single 22 short shell can be used and shot through it. The cylinder only is completely finished for 1 round, all the other cylinder holes are not completely machined. The push rod does not function and is a part of the frame. These collectible commemorative firearms have the appearance of a Colt 1860 Percussion Revolver but are single-shot in their function.
