Description
Presenting a truly unique find: the rare and Desirable Documented Factory Collection Colt Prototype MK III J-Frame Double Action Revolver, Serial X9704 with Box and Factory Letter. This is a rare factory prototype of an unknown Mark III series Colt revolver, a piece with a fascinating history that was never produced and is now available for your collection.
This unique revolver, as detailed in the factory letter, is chambered in .357 Magnum, has a 4-inch heavyweight barrel, polished stainless finish, checkered walnut wraparound grips, and a wide spur hammer. It was shipped without markings on October 16, 2008, adding to its mystique and desirability.
The letter further reveals that this is not just any prototype, but an experimental one that was carefully preserved by the Colt factory. The original label was a yellow card (not included) marked “Delta,” a name believed to be the model’s designation if it had been released. It even comes in a two-piece Colt “woodgrain” box.
