Hello friends and neighbors,
My 1851 navy has matching numbers and the colt stamp but the barrel has a different number,,,,,all dating to an 1861 DOM.
However the brass has worn brass plating in a few areas.
My question is concerning the plating.
Were any of the old Colts brass plated?
If not were any of the old serial numbers used at a later time?
Thanks for any help/links , content.
pics,,,could be Gold plate.
