I'm trying to find out about a revolver that I recently acquired. It is nickel plated and somebody has cut part of the barrel off. I'm assuming at this point that it is a Model 1892. I've been told that it is a new army navy double action made in 1901. There are no military markings anywhere on the weapon. The only markings that I can find are as follows:
‘Colt. D.A. 41’ on left side of barrel.
‘584’ on cylinder latch.
‘137 over 781’ on butt of handle.
‘F. A MFG CO HARTFORD CT USA’ (I assume that ‘Colt P T’ was cut off) and ‘AUG 5 1884 NOV 6 88’ on top of barrel.

Can anyone verify the model and date of manufacture? I'd also like to replace the barrel. Who might have a nickel plated
barrel? I have photos if anyone is interested. My email address is cmullis@cisco.com. Thanks for any help that you can provide. Semper Fi!

You can get a close manufacture date via the serial number list in a copy of the BlueBook of Gun Values. Just look for the 5-6 digit number on the frame.
