This is called a "tobacco gun." It was shipped in 1901 to the clearing house that handled the "prizes" for customers who bought enough tobacco. Wish they gave out prizes like that nowadays. Chambered in .38 Long Colt. Finish is pretty well all patina now, but you can still see the fire bluing on the trigger. The gun does function, and comes with the Colt factory letter. Some may not consider these all that rare, but they are certainly unique. Buy with confidence. I am a local police officer. You can meet me at or near my PD. Will ship to VALID FFL at buyers expense. All laws will be abided by. message me for additional photos 34six-three64-00eight one. Thanks for checking the ad.
