i am trying to find out what year this gun was made and its value good shape serial # got 77 and 130 below it on but of gun

I think we'd need more info to determine the model, and pictures would go a long way in determining that and the value; Colt made 7 or 8 different DA revolvers in 41 Long Colt.

SDC has a good point. All we know at this point is that the revolver is chambered in .41 Long Colt, a double-action hand ejector, and the serial number is 77,130.

Ufortunately many of Colt's earlier models were not marked with a model name or number. Therefore a detailed description or photograph is necessary to aid identification.

Measure the barrel length fom the front of the cylinder to the end of the muzzle. Note if any patent dates are stamped on the top of the barrel, and if so what is the last one. Does this revolver have a square butt (most likely), and what kind of material are the stocks made out of? (black hard-rubber being the most common). Is it blued or nickel plated - or no finish left at all?

Post this information and then we can probably find out what it is. :)

It might not be a hand ejector; the Models 1877 and 1878 were made in .41 Long Colt.

I realized the possibility, which is the reason I brought up square vs round butt, and patent dates. I'm not ready to jump without more information. :uhoh:
