Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In the late 1960s, Colt began to be concerned with a decline in its market share because of price increases brought about by the high labor costs inherent in its manufacturing processes. In response, an entirely new product line of revolvers dubbed the MK III series debuted in 1969. Intended to be the first major advancement of Colt’s designs since the beginning of the 20th Century, the MK IIIs used a new ‘J’ frame and had no parts interchangeability with older models. The new revolvers were considered groundbreaking as they were the first modern revolver designs to employ a state of the art transfer-bar lockwork system. The sintered parts also allowed for improved fabrication tolerances and could be given a special heat treatment resulting in a harder more wear-resistant composition. Using these parts virtually eliminated hand fitting, significantly lowering labor costs associated with the assembly and manufacture of the MK III line.
This is a rare combination and we are sure that given the caliber, barrel length, finish, and condition, collectors will go strong for this one.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Colt is in Superb condition showing no indications of regular consumer use or handling that we can see! Additionally, it will ship with the Colt box and all other contents pictured above that we believe has been added after leaving the factory as accessory/storage purposes.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
