Colt New Service

I have a Colt New Service nickel plated in .45 Colt 4 digit SN beginning in 7xxx. Has laynard strap, holster wear and not original grips. Cylinder is pretty tight not a lot of slack. Minor pits in barrel. Where can i get info on it and some original grips? BTW not for sale belonged to my Grandfather just trying to get info. I have heard you send this info to Colt and they will send info for $100 is this true, and where do I get that info.

Thanks

Go to Colts web site. There is a number you can call. They will give you info over the phone free. You may even ask about original grips. Never know they might pull a rabbit out of their hat for a small fee.

Called Colt all they could tell me is that is was a 1902 model

Numrich Arms might well have some original grips, they tend to have the oddest old stuff squirreled away at times. Here is their web site:

nice! where's the pics?

Here is a pic

well that didn't work the way I thought it would

Always a learning curve on photo posting here. Sort of a "rite of passage". You'll get it.

Thanks I appreciate the help

For future reference this site has serial no's and dates of manufacture for some colts and brownings
