No. 711968 Sell $12,500 |
Colt 1937 “Navy”. This pistol was returned
in 1996 from Argentina and is one of two known examples, of a complete and
original 1937 Navy returned to the USA after foreign Navy service. The only
other known pistol is in the collection of author Charles W. Clawson. For the advanced collector, these two Colt’s are the rarest of all 1937
Navy’s in existence. Please see the attached explanation from Mr. Clawson.
Since the “General Belgrano” aka Light Cruiser Phoenix (CL-46) was sunk
during the Battle of the Falkland Islands, by the British submarine
Conqueror, it is likely that this pistol was aboard the cruiser “9 de Julio”
until her retirement in 1978. For a more complete history of these two ships
follow this link: http://www.ibiblio.org/maritime/photolibrary/index.php?cat=1320 This Colt retains 85-90% of the phosphate
finish and is original and matching in all regards, including slide and all
small parts with the original barrel which remains in excellent condition. |

MG-200 Sell $5500 |
A pistol manufactured at Remington Rand and assembled per military specifications. Has third style slide logo and later style small parts along with the later production “grey” parkerized finish. Marked "MG-200" where the serial number would be on the right side of the receiver and marked "MG-200" just below the slide logo on the left side of the slide. Has black experimental Keyes Fibre Co. grips of which only two pistols known to have had these grips per Charles Clawson’s observations. Pistol has no other markings. Manufactured much like the ERRS and Demonstration pistols with “MG-200” stamping exactly the same size and style font as the ERRS and DEMO pistols. I have not been able to ascertain the meaning of the "MG-200" marking. Possibly an in house experimental pistol being that it has the experimental grips mentioned in Clawson’s book or could have been a guard gun. Pistol is in 99+% condition. |
