Default Two Finds Today!!! ***LETTER ARRIVED!!!!!***

I was off from work today and went gun shopping.

This pre-10 was in a pawn shop in Macon Georgia:





Love these markings!!



After some haggling and trading, I got the guy down from $379 to $349.

It is serial number C32xxx. DOB please!




I found this in a combination auto parts/hardware/gun store in Butler Georgia!




It is a Colt Model of 1917.in .45 ACP (.45 Auto Rim) However,it has no military markings.










Is this a commercial model or did it just escape the stamping process?

Best,
Charles

Nice scores!

Love that big Colt! I known Smith 1917s were marked on the bottom of the barrel - not sure about Colts. Sure looks military to me.

Hey Charles, according to my SC of S&W 4th, your M&P pre-10 was probably manufactured sometime in '48 time frame. (I originally read the SN as C +6 digits. Thanks to Ken for the correct interpretation!)
I like this one a lot. I love those old round front sights.

Your 1917 Colt is gonna be a guess; I'm thinking sometime in the '20s, and because it has no martial markings, it's probably a Commercial model. I'm probably wrong about this one, but I'm certain someone with much more knowledge about these will help.

I remembered that I had one previously:
This is what the butt would look like if military;

Thanks for the reply!

Do I remember correctly that just after the war (WWI), Colt used up the spare parts and sold some "1917s" commercially?

Many years ago, I had S&W 1917 marked as your Colt is marked.

Most likely Oct/Nov 1948.

I think the Colt is a model of 1909.

I just had a closer look. The chambers are longer than the ACP/Auto Rim round. It chambers a 45 Colt cartridge perfectly. So, it would be a 1909. Commercial?

Charles

It's not a M1909. Nor it is a M1917. The 1909 has a much longer extractor rod knob, and it also would have a M1909 butt stamping. If it chambers a .45 Colt, it would necessarily have been re-chambered for it, or else have a .45 Colt New Service cylinder. Does the .45 Colt case chamber completely, all the way down to the rim? Simplest answer is that it is an early .45 Colt New Service with 1917 grips. What's the SN (inside the crane)?

S/N 24xxx which dates it to 1910. The .45 Colt does fit properly. I'm pretty happy with it as an early New Service. The .45 Colt is a great round.

Best,
Charles

I just got off the phone w/ Paul from Colt Archives. My New Service is 100% correct. No barrel swap. It is a commercial USMC 1909 that was a private purchase by a Marine Corps Officer in 1909. Only two of these were known to exist....now three!! Mine went to Col. Charles L.F. Robinson. Col. Robinson was....wait for it....the president of Colt from 1911-1916!!!

The Colt was at the NAPA/ACE Hardware/Gun store. The S&W was at a pawn shop in Macon Ga.

Finding that Colt is like hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to win the World Series!

I would love to know the story on how that Colt went from Col. Charles L.F. Robinson to a small gun store/auto parts store in middle Georgia. Great score!

Wow that's crazy news on the Colt! Good thing the dealer didn't look into it, I imagine the price would've been a wee bit higher.



You got a real piece of history there. Does it belong in a museum? The Marine's or Colt's? 1911-1916 sounds like the best time to be running Colt, you had the epic 1911 pistol, but didn't have to deal with the frenzy after the U.S. entered WWI.

The clerk thought it was a Colt 1917 .45acp because he owns one of those. The sales tag reflected that information too. It would be a very easy mistake to make....

The standard USMC 1909 had a round butt. This one has the square butt of the New Service and the 1917. Of course, back then it was a bit easier to get what you wanted from Colt or S&W.

Only two of these were known to exist....now three!! Mine went to Col. Charles L.F. Robinson. Col. Robinson was....wait for it....the president of Colt from 1911-1916!!! "

I can believe it was a private purchase civilian New Service in .45 Colt for Col Robinson. However, it is not a normal USMC M1909, at least to the extent that it differs in several significant respects from those 1300 M1909s sold and delivered to the USMC. First is the extractor rod knob, as previously mentioned. All M1909s (Army, Navy, and USMC) had a longer (three-section) extractor rod knob, somewhat longer than those shorter (two section) knobs used on the civilian New Service and M1917 revolvers. There was a purpose for that, namely to provide a shorter extractor rod stroke limit to help protect against fired case jams during extraction. Actually, the M1917 knob differs slightly from those used on the civilian New Service. Second, the M1909s made for the USMC had USMC (in two lines) stamped on the butt, plus a unique USMC number, not actually a serial number. Third, the USMC grip frame had rounded corners, not square, not actually a round butt, a la S&W, but easily distinguishable from the Army M1909 and the civilian New Service. That required special wood grips, which were also checkered. The more common Army M1909 used smooth grips, similar to those used on the M1917. And those M1909 grips were inspector-stamped on the bottom flats of the grip, most being R.A.C., for sub-inspector Rinaldo A. Carr. M1917 smooth wood grips were not so stamped, nor were civilian grips.
------------------
My two Army M1909s. Note the long extractor rod knobs and square grip frame corners.

WOW! In addition to everything else, he was related to the Colt family by marriage.

Thanks for posting!!

Some more info taken from an online biography:

Charles Leonard Frost Robinson was president of Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company from 1911 to 1916. He took a position at the company in 1896 when he married Elizabeth Beach, the niece of Samuel Colt’s wife, Elizabeth. As president, Robinson oversaw the production of the Model 1911 Automatic Pistol, the principle sidearm of American forces throughout most of the twentieth century. When World War I broke out in 1914, Robinson guided the company as it quickly and successfully met the Allied demand for armaments. Robinson passed away unexpectedly from heart disease in 1916.

He was also a Mayflower descendant.

Just had another thought for you to chase down: Father Charles L. F. bought gun in 1909, died July 1916. Son was a Marine officer, went to France in 1917, was a platoon leader and was KIA at Belleau Wood; do you suppose son took father's gun to France, to Belleau Wood?
Tantalizing, eh? You have quite a find there!

Thanks for posting!!

Some more info taken from an online biography:
...
He was also a Mayflower descendant.
He was also a Son of the American Revolution, and a hereditary member of Society of the Cincinnati.

I don't think Charles L F Robinson was a Marine officer. He went to work for Colt at the age of 22 and died at age 42. He is not listed as a Marine officer in the list of Navy and Marine officers. His rank of "Colonel" was probably honorary or in the Connecticut State Militia.

It is still neat as all get-out to own a New Service that belonged to a former Colt president.

That sounds logical. I had the Colt letter expedited. So, I'll have it in a week or so and will post it then. The "Colonel" probably was honorary. However, his son was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marines and was killed in action in France in 1918.

Was there a Marine Corps Reserve back then??

Best,
Charles

The Marine Corps Reserve was created in August 1916.

That's what I found. Nothing on his being a Marine, but his obit says he was a colonel in the Newport Artillery, probably a Rhode Island organization.

To carry this further, the Newport Artillery was indeed a Rhode Island militia unit dating back to the Revolution. In 1903, a law passed that required state units to standardize under federal regulations if they wanted to become part of the National Guard. The NA decided not to do so, and apparently turned into more of a civic organization, which would fit with Mr. Robinson being an elected Colonel without any extended military experience in his biography. The NA is supposedly still doing commemorative activities in colonial historical uniforms today.

This merely proves the point that we never really own our guns, we are just merely caretakers while we still draw breath. There are lots of guns out there like this that have fallen through the cracks of time and are waiting to be found.

This also answers the questions about having a plain Jane revolver lettered. They aren't all engraved on the side with the names of the famous former caretakers.

You have to beat the bushes and do the research.

Charles, congratulations on a great find and thanks for sharing the story. This is what takes gun collecting to a whole new level.

Charles,

Amazing find and most interesting to find a gun that once belonged to a president of Colt's!

Congrats on the gun and thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Just a question. Would he not have been the President of Colt? Curious as to why the Colt Historian uses Colt's.

In that same vein, were Daniel and Horace the owners of Smith and Wesson's?

I am sure that they were but I bet their Smith and Wesson's went bang.....

Colt's Patent Firearms was the official company name at the time, I believe.
