Etched Brass
What is my revolver worth and when was it made- Colt Army special .38?
I have an old Colt that used to belong to my grandfather and I am considering selling it. The gun is in very good to excellent condition with the original blue, no fading and no scratches. Serial number is 5095XX. On the barrel it reads: Colt's P T F.A. Mfg. Co. Hartford CT U.S.A. (Next line) PAT'D AUG.5, 1884, JUNE 6. 1900 JULY 4, 1905.
On the left, and in larger print:
COLT ARMY SPECIAL 38.
There is a Colt emblem etched into the metal above the checkered wooden grip, and the grip itself has the emblem -- looks like a small brass disc -- on either side.
Could somebody please tell me the approximate manufacturing date as well as an approximate value for this gun. Thank you.
