I inherited a Colt revolver from my uncle.
It has "38 Banker's Special" engraved/stamped on the left side of the barrel (which is two inches long).
When I swing out the cylinder, it has a number (#335709) stamped/engraved on the inside of the frame with a mirror image on the arm that swings out.
It has a wooden handle with crosscut hatching and a flat, even butt. On the metal, curved part of the handle it is engraved "R.M.S. P.O. DEPT." and on the bottom of the metal part of the handle it is engraved "No. 4763"
Additionally, in front of the trigger guard, it has stamped/engraved in very small letters (small enough that I needed a magnifying glass), formed in something that looks like an oval, the letters "GWA"
I have no idea of its value, nor when/where it was produced.
If anyone can provide that info, I'd be awfully grateful.
Thanks!
