[Tom Mix Revolver?]

No, Colt did not charge me extra after it turned out to have been ordered by Tom Mix. I was a bit surprised myself.

Thanks Guys, it's appreciated. It'll give me some researching experience.

[Tom Mix Revolver?]

I have seen a Colt .38 Officer's Model revolver which has been in the family since the 50's. Family lore is it was traded to my wife's grandfather by Roy Rodgers for a Luger he had that Roy saw. We have no documentation for the provenance so as a way just to settle the issue I sent to Colt for a factory letter. The letter came back with no reference to Roy. What it did come back with is it was in a shipment of two sent to Tom Mix of Beverly Hills, Ca. Pretty nice but surprising find and no proof of the family story.

 

I checked the serial number so it is not one of the ones taken from his museum.

 

Any suggestions as to where I might be able to get any more information on this revolver as it appears to be one used for trick shooting or shows? Thanks.
