I saw this at Four Guns in LaFayette the other day and decided it should have a new home. It is a Colt New Line, Second Model single-action five-shot revolver in .38 Colt. It is scarce because it has a four-inch barrel in .38 centerfire. Most were made in .22, .30, or .32. Some were made .41. According to Flayderman is was made from 1874-1880 with only about 5,500 being made in this caliber, making this particular variation even more rare. It is considered a pocket gun. It has the loading gate. (Not all of them did.) The grips are supposed to be rosewood but I assume use has darkened them. The cylinder pin has been replaced with a non-correct pin which is undersized. Once I find a replacement pin I do plan on playing with it at CAS side matches. This is a black powder model gun so I will be using APP, a black powder sub.
