Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a pair of Colt pistols made by famous inventor Harvey Geyer in 1935. Mr. Geyer of Dayton, Ohio held over 200 U.S. patents, and is best known to me as the inventor of the flame thrower. He was also appointed to head the Wright estate after Orville Wright’s death. The set of Colts includes a 2/3 scale Colt “Cloverleaf” revolver and a 2/3 scale Colt Thuer number 3 derringer. Both have rifled barrels. Both are chambered for and will shoot the .22 short rimfire cartridge. The frames of both pistols are yellow brass, the balance of the parts being fire blued steel. Both have two piece pre-ban elephant ivory grips that are showing a beautiful aged patina. The pair is housed in a wood casing made to look like a book. The case interior English fit. The case bottom lined in red velour, the case top padded and lined in red silk. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
