Hi folks,
I have a chance to acquire a 1917 vintage M1917. The LGS is asking $850 for it. I think that is maybe a bit high but still in the acceptable range, but I am not expert.
The pictures pretty much show its condition and if you pull the trigger, it seems to lock up tight.
The thing that bothers me about it is that it doesnt have the Rampant Colt pony on it. Did all the early colts have it or is the fact it appears to be missing still normal? Could this be a WW2 rebuild and it was sanded off?
Thoughts on this revolver would be appreciated. Is it original? is it worth asking price?
Thanks!
Thanks in advance for your help....
