    Good Afternoon All, I’m hoping I’m on the right forum! If so, I could use some help identifying this Colt 1911… I took it in on a trade deal, and I believe she’s pieced together with different things, but I’m no Colt wiz. So I looked up the serial number of the frame, and it comes back as a...

    I have 2 barrels and I'm trying to figure out the markings. The first one has a P and an F on it and the other one doesn't have any letters, and neither have a serial # . Not sure what I have.

    I've recently picked up a Belgian-made Centennial 1860 NMA. The finish is all but destroyed, clinging on in some patches but unsavable. What I'd like to do is give it some life back with a period-correct finish, would that be rust bluing, charcoal bluing, nitre, or something other? The color...

  8. "The American Arsenal" US Weapons - Past & Present
    Hello all, I recently came across a Colt Police Positive chambered in .38 S&W and decided to look up it's serial number on Colt's archive. According to them, it was produced in 1906. I find this hard to believe due to how clean the revolver is, and the fact that it isn't blued. It has either a...
