Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Colt DA 41

I'm trying to find out about a revolver that I recently acquired. It is nickel plated and somebody cut the barrel off. I'm assuming at this point that it is a Model 1892. I've been told that it is a new army navy double action made in 1901. There are no military markings anywhere on the weapon. The only markings that I can find are as follows:
�Colt. D.A. 41� on left side of barrel.
�584� on cylinder latch.
�137 over 781� on butt of handle.
�F. A MFG CO HARTFORD CT USA� (I assume that �Colt P T� was cut off) and �AUG 5 1884 NOV 6 88� on top of barrel.

Can anyone verify the model and date of manufacture? I'd also like to replace the barrel. Who might have a nickel plated
barrel? I have photos if anyone is interested. My email address is [email]cmulliscisco.com.[/email] Thanks for any help that you can provide. Semper Fi!

Model 1892, yup that is what you have Sir. Try gunparts Corp in West Hurley, NY for the barrel. They are on the web at http://www.e-gunparts.com/
