I've just gotten a Colt pistol. It is nickel plated with a 6 in. barrel. It has Colt DA 38 on the side of the barrel. It has 3 patent dates on the top of the barrel. The first is Aug. 5 1884. I believe the second is Nov. 6, 88. The last one is Mar ???. It has wood grips with the Colt emblem on them It has the Colt emblem on the frame right above the grip on the left side. It has 3 diget numbers on the inside of the frame where the cylinder closes and on the cylinder swing out frame. It also has the same number on the cylinder release catch. It also has 2 sets of 3 diget numbers on the bottem of the butt. Is this enough info that anyone could tell me what model pistol I have? Thanks.
