yes, i suspected that backstrap was an add on at some point....grips too....there is no serial number on the cylinder...should there be?
Yes. Also there should be a couple of numbers on the loading gate that match the last two numbers of the serial number.
On the left side of the frame is the "rampant Colt" there along with the various Colt's patent dates??
What caliber is it? .45 Colt, .44-40. .38-40, etc., etc.?\
