They are advertising a Colt New Service revolver chambered in 357 magnum. Has 357 on the barrel too.
Manufactured in 1920. Is that possible?

Yes. Probably started life as a 38 SPL then was rechambered to 357mag.They are advertising a Colt New Service revolver chambered in 357 magnum. Has 357 on the barrel too.

That's what I thought. I thought that caliber came along later but wasn't sure.Yes. Probably started life as a 38 SPL then was rechambered to 357mag.
OR, the date was incorrect , like a number off, or read the date for a Colt gun with the same SN but different model, etc.
But new 1920, 357mag? No.
I’ve done business with them. They’re good people. You’re probably right.I bet those are consignments.
They’ve also been advertising an Essex 1911 with a Colt slide as a WW2 era gun. Not sure about the slide but I’m pretty sure Essex never made complete pistols and their parts are all post WW2. Buyer beware!
