My latest aquisitions

And lastly is a Colt Model 1917 revolver that it's serial number puts its manufacture in 1919. This one I am going to write Colt & pay the fee to get a letter. Both it's finish & mech is in good shape!

Every time I handle it I think back of Indy using his in "Raiders of the lost Ark" to shoot the swordsman coming at him!

Anything more you guys might be able to tall me about them would be great. I'll add some more detailed pics when I can.

Just a nit pick, but the revolver used to shoot the swordsman in the first Indi movie is a Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector II

Oops sorry, I had read it was a Colt 1917 but that was a while ago & the site I guess was wrong.

Just curious alanint if you know, was the brushing on the upper front of the barrel done at the factory or was it someone's idea later. Plus is it to diffuse any potential reflection of light or what?
