Desert Fox Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hopefully one of the members here snagged this one. It looks like SN 54 or 54X from what I can tell. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/790460300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 It's No. 54. The first photo looks like it's 3-digit, but the second photo is much better, and the serial number can be read clearly. Gordon's book indicates No. 54 was a 21A that went to the U.S. Army Veteran Corps of Artillery in New York on 4/12/21.

giantpanda4 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Are you sure that was not photoshopped to obscure the later digits? A lot of people do that on public pictures of serial numbers. I could not convince myself either way...

TD. Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I agree with David. It is NO 54. Someone got a nice piece of history at a very good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Does the barrel breech show serial number 54? pix900580634.jpg Colt 1921A #54 barrel.jpgWith 27 fins it's doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about your fin tally as the pic is not definitive, but if there is something not Kosher about the barrel it may explain why the seller kept it in the background with no additional detail photos.
