What i know of the colt, it seems to be fired or carried very little , was well oiled and kept wrapped up, i have fired it a few times . I i am told was the property of my grandfather 's brother , james thomas who lost his leg in world war one and was know as "peg leg Jim ", i guess now adays that would not be socialy correct/lol. The smith an wesson was carried by my grandfather , Wiiliam J "Will" thomas, as you can see it has alot more use , some where down the road it was rebarreled , the barell is only marked LNA on the the right side and S&w 45 on the left, and it does not work with the half moon clips, the cyclinder will not turn, you have to just put the rounds in and poke them out, been meaning for years to work on that and havnt got around to it, just a bit of family providence of the two, it seems most of the family guns one way or the other have come to me, beining left to me or i bought them from other families members . I once remember my wise old grandfather looking at me from under the brim of his stetson hat , hand resting on his revolver, and half smiling at me, you boy will be the "keeper of the flame" , i guess he was right. Thanks Padre
