I.D Year of this Colt...

[JohnC]

My Dad was given this old 38 Colt a long time ago. We're just curious what year it was made.

It has 3 patent years on the top of the barrel. If you can't see it on these crap iPhone pictures, I can write it out for you later.

It is a Colt Police Positive and last patent date on the barrel is 1905.

SN # looks to be 130053 I think.

Cool. Thanks!

HA! I just picked up it's older first cousin. 1920 Army Special. Great score. Americans [all humans for that matter] have forgotten how to make guns like these. It's true, they just don't make 'em like they used to.

I love those grips with "Colt" on them.
