[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3824895, member: 41176"] 1902 Gen1 "prewar" Colt SAA per Colt's serial lookup. These aren't proofed for smokeless powders, unless done by Colt later on. That doesn't look like a factory engraving, but you never know. Compared to the "41 Colt" roll stamp and the patent dates, it's too crisp and clean. May have been done early in it's life or possibly as a restoration or even sent back to Colt. Best way to find out is hit up these: Get a Colt Letter. It'll tell you what it was when it came out of the factory and where it was sent. It will tell you what finish and what grips was on it when it left. That would include if it was engraved. Would be badass if it was.
