Colt DA 38
Hey Guys, I have a problem that I hope that someone can help me with. I just picked up a colt revolver and need to know what ammo to feed it. I would also love to know the model of the gun if anyone knows it. I intend on using it as just a little protection in my boat.
Nickle plated
Double Action
Serial # 230 843
I hope that these pictures will help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated[:)]

4 1/2 in. barrel. Engraved. Pearl grips with carved Eagle on right side grip. Serial # 249XXX. Pat on barrel Aug 5 84. Nov 6 88. Mar 5 95. Frame # matches cylinder #.
Phoned Colt. Was told serial # could be same on different models.
Looks very similar to the revolver at this addy. Diff engrave design and no gold cylinder.

Book on Colt Revolvers out of print. Only copy in one library in state. 200 miles away.
Would appreciate any info or thoughts.0 -
Kindly notice in the link you gave us, the name of the gentlemen who purportly engraved that Colt revolver "CUNO HELFRICHT".
If you have a engraved revolver done at the Colt factory, ( and can substantiate it with a Colt "LETTER" ) by this gentleman. You have something thats worth big bucks.
Get a Colt "LETTER" for your revolver, if it was engraved by them you hit the jackpot. Otherwise it's value would be based on the quality of the engraving. Unfortunately in the past I've seen a lot of butcher jobs that were being passed off as quality engraving to enhance the value of the firearm.0
