When we were younger, we owned horses. We had a Shetland pony at one point, several quarterhorses, and even a Mustang at one point...
But this will be my first Colt. Can't wait to pay it off!

Pulled the Pin on the Colt, did ya?
Did the Ruby whet your appetite?
1903?
Pawpaw- yes, and yes!
NFO-correct, or maybe more accurately, a 1908. It's a type III, in .380... serial number pins it's production to 1923. No bluing left, but it has a nice patina. Internals are in remarkable shape for a gun it's age. Someone used the hell out of it, but took good care of it.
Congratulations! I have a buddy that had one about the same finish condition. He had it refinished in polished nickle, it's a good looking gat!
Thanks, Wilson! It may end up being a candidate for a re-finish job. I'm going to wait and see how it shoots first. If it shoots great, I may hard chrome or nickle it and get better sights for it.
