StrangeRanger Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 The timeline and location are right so does anyone know if there is provenance for this gun being used at Blair Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autorotate Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Tom Davis and I had an opportunity to examine this Colt before it was last sold by Cowan’s auction in Cincinnati a few years ago. I learned a lot as Tom disassemble and discussed what he was looking for as he examined the gun in detail. It appeared to retain its original barrel but couldn’t state this as a fact. If memory serves me correctly, Tom wrote an article about #91 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Chapter 1 of my 4th book, Thompson: Colt's, West Hurley's & More, tells the known history of NO 91. A copy of the original Form 1 is also included. There are numerous pictures of this very early 2-digit Colt with expansive captions detailing all the parts. For those that like the early Colt Thompsons, this is a story you will want in your library. NO 91 was going to grace the cover of this book until I had a chance to photograph and write about the New Mexico Prison Colt's. This book contains much more Colt Thompson information. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
