From what I can tell, it was made in the 3rd year of production 1914. Has been in my family since 1914 as well. All original. Grips, 2 tone magazine with lanyard ring. Pistol was carried more than shot. It's got a patina, but locks up tight, doesn't rattle, and has great rifling. Just thought I'd share. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/2osiZ57.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/J36UQlL.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/KItWcgU.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/etGnrez.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Bj4mW34.jpg) I love old Colt's!

lol A valid question I suppose...but it is more interesting to me than some fool sharing the removal of his testicle, or any number of threads asking about defecation, methodology and location.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
