I also own a couple restored or refinished first generation colts.
this is a 41 colt made in 1906 ,engraved with cattlebrands
the second is from an unkown engraver , made in 1906 caliber .45 ,I fired it on occasion an it's an excellent gun ,
the third one is a 44-40 ,made in 1919 and is engraved by John Adams renowned Colt engraver in the seventies
