Hi there!
I recently bought a Colt Army Special in 32-20 and was surprised to see that intertwined with the Colt pony on the left side of the frame is a "corral", or something like it, that looks like a stylized "C". If you can imagine a Chicago Bears pointed C, but fancier, the top of the C goes behind the pony's neck, while the bottom of the C passes over its rump.
The marking was clearly made at the same time as the pony itself, as the lines are the same thickness and depth.
I cannot find ANY info about this, and the collectors I've asked about it are stumped as well.
Please help.
Thanks!
