    Kaboom, my book says your Colt was made in 1928.

    Yep....That's correct! Made in 1928, Kaboom! I have one made in 1936 in 99%+ condition. Been always going to shoot it but just can't bring myself to dirtying up such a nice old Colt! They are built on the D Frame same as a Detective Special and use a good round, .38 Special.....! Mine is a 5 inch barrel so it doesn't lend itself to a carry piece.

    My thanks to both you guys. I haven't been online for a few days, so I'm late getting back to you. I took the old Colt on a swap deal and I knew it's fairly old. But it's still a very good shooter, and I have never seen a better made and finished gun anywhere.
