OLD COLT: WE PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH AN ONLINE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE FOR OLD COLT GUNS.
This Colt Huntsman was produced in 1976 and is what is known as the "Double S" variant. The zero prefix numbers created a problem when the serial numbers reached 099999S and rolled over to 100000S because serial numbers in that range had already been used in 1951-52 and began repeating. When the error was discovered, the 1336 guns that were already numbered received a hand stamped S prefix as seen on the pistol above.
The huntsman would be built for 2 more years following this particular pistol and would start production back up in the three hundred thousand range. More information on the huntsman ship dates can be found here.
