We have a Colt Single Action Army revolver with a 4 3/4" or 5 1/2" barrel (Sorry I don't have the exact measurement). I Believe it is nickel, with mother of pearl grips, and there is some wear from being holstered. the serial number, 137366, can be found on the bottom of the barrel, the trigger guard, and the on the butt of the gun. The only other markings on the barrel are ".38" and "Colt". The number 23 is engraved upside down on the inner side of the loading gate.
From my own research I believe the gun was manufactured in 1891, and the caliber to be .38-40 or .38 WCF (Winchester center fire.)
I'd like to find more information about the piece, and what it might be worth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
