U.S. Colt Commando, .38 Special cal. double action military revolver. Serial #43596, mfg. 1942. Very good condition. Nice military revolver that was issued during World War II starting in 1942 - one was carried by General Dwight Eisenhower. 4" barrel has an excellent bore. Parkerized finish is 90% with muzzle and cylinder wall wear. Some frame wear - holster wear. Nice mechanics. 1926 patent date on barrel. Fixed sights. No military markings, so this early production Commando might have been rushed into service right after production. Rampant Colt marked "plastic wood" checkered grip are excellent. A MUST for military collectors! C&R OK. Gunrunner West item.
