    Description

    Colt .38 Bankers Special Revolver – 2" Barrel

    Offered for auction is a scarce and highly collectible Colt Bankers Special chambered in .38 caliber, featuring the desirable 2-inch barrel configuration. The Bankers Special was produced in limited numbers and is well known for its compact size, smooth Colt action, and strong collector demand.

    Built on Colt’s small-frame double-action platform, this revolver was marketed as a concealable, high-quality sidearm for bankers, detectives, and professionals during the early 20th century. Today, it remains a sought-after piece of American firearms history.

    Features include:

    • Manufacturer: Colt
    • Model: Bankers Special
    • Caliber: .38 (see markings/photos for exact designation)
    • Barrel Length: 2 inches
    • Action: Double/Single Action
    • Frame: Small frame
    • Finish: Blue or Nickel (see photos)
    • Grips: Original-style hard rubber or wood (see photos)

    The revolver shows honest wear consistent with age and use. Mechanically sound with smooth trigger operation and proper timing. Bore shows visible rifling (see photos for detailed condition).

    A rare opportunity to acquire a Colt Bankers Special, ideal for the Colt collector, early law enforcement enthusiast, or advanced revolver collection.

    Please review all photos carefully and ask any questions prior to bidding.
