Nupe, may be a hand.


When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years!

Hand for Colt Trooper Mark III?

https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/188960


A good job is sometimes just a series of expertly fixed fark-ups.
Let's see.... is it 20 years experience or is it 1 years experience 20 times?
And I will have you know that I am not an old fart. I am a curmudgeon. A curmudgeon is an old fart with an extensive vocabulary and a really bad attitude.

Ah the last bag says Hands. I have 10 bags marked 079 to 088 which seems to be the thickness at the tip. They are .870 long

If it's a hand it's a Colt or Smith & Wesson. If it's a pawl, it's a Ruger.

And if it's a Harrington and Richardson or an Iver Johnson, it's called a lever.. in case anyone's interested. Wink
Funny, even though those gunmakers worked within a stone's throw of each other they seemed to speak different languages at times.

Not ruger, they are single toothed hands/pawls, most revolvers use double toothed ones for smoothness. When Colt went to the SAA,, they went to a double hand/[pawl; for example.
This one does appear to be for a Colt J frame, and you can call them either hand or pawl. We know what you mean.

If you look at em close, I'd say they are modern, laser cut, just going by the cut marks and burning on exit. Some one probably had a bag full cut out for some popular model that is now orphaned and out of parts production.

Rich ' s buddy that he refers to probably worked for a company who stocked / sold Colt parts at one time and these are likely "leftovers." The manila "coin" envelopes are a tipoff.. a lot of small parts inventory was kept in these years ago. Maybe still is. I have a few drawers like that myself.
Rich, I'd be interested in knowing what other Colt parts you may have...

Sile and Mike Chissano who owned a jewelry/gun store. A lot of the parts came from a Penn smith that did work for the PD.

The pictures are not good enough to be sure, but the parts do not look like laser cutting or investment casting. More likely fine blanking; that would be a typical process for parts like that and the edges look like it too.

Well if they are ever positively ID there are most likely buyers for them.

JV , the guys on this forum have wonderful imaginations !! Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

The marks on the parts have very obvious SHEAR patterns ! Always ask a metallurgist ! We know something about metalwork ! 2020

I think catch and release hooks for crab fishing. If you list them on EBAY, be sure to include "vintage" in the description.
