Vintage semi-auto pistols demand a careful eye: condition, provenance, and original accessories all drive collector value. For shooters and collectors who appreciate mid-century American craftsmanship, a well-preserved example can be both a practical shooter and a display piece that tells a story.

What makes this COLT Huntsman noteworthy

Believed to be manufactured in 1955, this COLT Huntsman is listed in very good condition. The barrel tip shows some discoloration while the bore is clear with only a few specks of gunpowder noted — nothing major for a firearm of this era. Grips appear clean and attractive; the listing indicates they may be bone, though that is not confirmed. The package includes one 10-round magazine and a black leather holster, a combination collectors prize for both display and immediate range use.

Condition and inspection tips

When evaluating vintage pistols, prioritize bore integrity, frame and slide fit, and magazine function. The Huntsman’s clear bore is a strong point; the minor barrel surface discoloration is cosmetic but worth verifying during an in-person inspection. Confirm grip material if originality is important to you, and ensure the included 10rd magazine operates reliably. If caliber information is absent, always verify chamber markings and perform a safety check before firing.

Buying checklist

Confirm serial and manufacturing details, inspect the bore and feed ramp, test the included 10rd magazine, and verify holster fit. If original grips are a priority, ask the seller about provenance. Because caliber is not specified in the listing, request caliber confirmation before purchase and arrange a competent gunsmith inspection when possible.
