I put a photo of two on here. Both are .38 special.
The left one is ser. no. 366xxx from 1928. Right one is 490xxx from 1947.
Both guns appear to be stock. Note the different triggers. Does anyone have data on when Colt went from the smooth early trigger to a checkered?
Or if the checkered trigger is original to the '47 gun?
I do know Colt triggers from '50 on were grooved.
I have tried to log onto the Colt forums many times and it just won't let me in!
