A friend is looking for some info on a revolver of his and I am no expert on them. I have googled and used the search feature and found that the Colt Officers have spotty record keeping. I'll take what info you got but we are most interested in the date of manufacture and insurance value. Any trivia is welcome... And while I have you I thought I should throw in my Officers Model
We think my friends revolver dates to 1917 and seems to have the original finish which is no less than 98%- It is CLEAN. (very faint turn line) I have doubts about the sights though, the are made by Micro and they look "Post-warish" to me. Its serial number is 4958XX Last patent date of 1905
I believe mine was made in 1937, last patent date of 1926. Serial Number is 6186XX It is a Heavy Barrel and has Kings Adjustable sights and a Kings Cockeyed hammer. It also appears to be original finish but is not nearly as good as my friends 38.
