Add-Ons:
Notes: There is a lot of story behind this pistol and I'm sure we only know a little of it. The previous owner of this classic was a Hollywood cowboy stuntman and worked regularly in the old west pictures. One of his required skills was to be proficient in the quick draw. Always striving to be quicker, he modified the barrel of this gun by slicing off the sight and polishing it up just to gain a split second of time with his draw. There in lies the saddest issue with this highly sought after pistol. Through its time it appears to have had a lot of spinning and polishing done to the cylinder as well. During the stuntman days of ownership this weapon mostly if not always shot blanks, but don't let that fool you. This is a fully functional Colt .45. What does all of this mean to the buyer? It means you're looking at a $12k gun at an obscenely discounted rate! Also included is the screen used holster and cartridge belt with 23 live rounds in the 33 available bullet loops. The belt itself is a nice piece of collectible history and even has a nickel silver buckle and is adorned with a silver Concho and cow skull. Depending on your budget, this could be a once in a lifetime win!
