Overall, the grips are in fine-excellent condition. type of finish: bluedfinish originality: original, numbers match. bore condition: the bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is infrequent very minor erosion in the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 9+/10. overall condition: this pistol retains about 96% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at most edges. There are a few tiny spots of minor oxidation with one spot of minor surface erosion on the top-left of the barrel. There are a few other minor marks. The action shows light operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to lightly tool marked with strong slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this pistol is in fine condition. mechanics: the action functions correctly. We have not fired this pistol. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards. box, paperwork & accessories: this pistol comes in a hinge-lid cardboard colt box with model-matching label and the serial number hand-written on the bottom. The box shows wear, tear, and edge-loss. our assessment: the colt camp perry is one of the most rare colt cartridge pistols, with only 2,488 produced in all. With the barrel fixed in the breech block, the design is inherently more accurate than contemporary revolvers or autoloaders, but still has the same form-factor as a colt officer's model, though it is more slim due to the lack of a cylinder or recoil shield. Despite the quality of the design and, according to a 1929 catalog listing, "having won every official match for . 22 caliber single-shot pistols in which it has been entered, including the n.R.A.. 22 cal slow-fire pistol match, the u.S.R.A. 50-yard pistol championship and the 50-meter-international pistol match", interest in the pistol was limited, and the model was finally discontinued in 1941 after 20 years of production. this example is an earlier production 8" model produced in 1933. The pistol is in fine condition, showing little sign of use over the last 93 years, but retaining a nice bore and strong mechanics. It will make a great addition to a colt collection, especially with the included box, and should still serve as a fine quality target pistol, today. Please see our photos and good luck!
