[KevlarSix]

Hi,

I've been told that this was a Colt revolver but I dont know because it's old and rusty.

We do have a couple of colt people here and one of them should be along soon. Can I ask where you found it?

Found it among the stuff of my late granddad. He was a retired army officer.

I think it resembles a 1917 DA but can't say for sure. That would make it WWI era.

Your rusty paper weight has many features that MIGHT identify it as a Post war colt revolver. It also has some oddities that make me suspect it may have been a copy produced somewhere else. I know of no colt barrels that look like that and the action is odd lacking a rebound lever, hand, mainspring and other parts. And I've never seen a hammer quite like that on a colt. Perhaps someone more knowledgable than I can identify it.
