Colt D.A.38 How old? What worth?

Ragman
Have a Colt DA 38. Pat. on side of gun says Sept.18, 1871. Has black grips that are rounded on bottom and has the Colt emblem on both sides. Colt D.A. 38 stamped on left side of barrel. Gun is very tight and shows just normal wear. Serial #s on three places match. Serial # is 1573--. didn't know if I should put all of # in or not. Any idea of when it was made and what it may be worth?
Thanks, Ragman

    What you have is probably (with out seeing it) a 1877 Colt Lightning made between 1905 & 1906 which will fire .38 Long & Short Colt rounds NOT MODERN DAY AMMO Price depends on the finish, barrel lenght,and matching #'s and a number of other variables. Get a pic or 3 up and we'll be beter enabled to accurately answer your question.
