SS Tri-Color???????????

[Dantforth]

I need to make a quick decision so will try here. this does not look right to me but I am asking....in a hurry.


.....or is this just something made up by someone. Distance precludes me from seeing it. Dave

 

[Jim Puke]

Not an authority, but I have never seen that color combination on one.

I don't believe that's a "factory" offering.

Appears to be an unconverted Old Model, though, so if the price is right . . .

JMHO

Not a Tri Color which has 4 5/8 BBL, this is a RSSM, 6 1/2" bbl.

Also, the true "Tri-Color" Single-Sixes are in the short-lived Lightweight series having the aluminum main frame and aluminum cylinder.

I was away from home and away from my reference material. Thanks for the answers guys. I have passed. Someone must have had the cylinder and frame painted? Dave

 

[Ale-8(1)]

Could be some variety of aftermarket coating. There are quite a few available.

looks more like someone bead blasted the grip frame, hammer and the cylinder....though that 'flat" ( matte) grey is similar to the old style ,early "Armaloy" out of texas................
sorry but NOT a 'tri color, in any way, just a duo tone...

 

[Dantforth]

It is amazing how a dark, blurry photo can deceive. When I asked for a better photo you could see it was a mess. It must have sat in water or a wet gun case as it appears to have been pitted all over and then bead blasted to cover the pitts. Again, thanks for the quick help. David

buy it for the parts.....

Yes, I have learned my lesson buying guns from sources who only provide poor quality, out of focus pics based on their "reputation" only... Pay good money, and the guns disappoint but do not want to rock the boat....learn and move on....

Looks like a fun shooter to me, if the price is right.
