Reinhard: The Colt is a 3.5 inch and has two a two line address on top of the barrel. The ejector end piece has been skeletonized to go over the cylinder retaining pin. Who ever made up the gun did an excellent job. It is a first year second generation gun.

Your 44-40 is really cool I like the hammer and the cut around the cylinder especially.

Are you familar with a Grover Improved Number Five?

I guess what I meant was the SAA has a very storied history and a huge following while the 1905 sort of slips through the cracks in history. When asked about rare 45ACP pistols most will recognize the 45 Luger or even the Savage 1907 but I rarely hear mention of the true "father" of the 1911.
When I first got this 1905 I was so excited and wanted to show it to the guys that hang out at a local gun shop. Literally NO ONE knew what it was or how lucky they were to be able to fondle it. One guy even asked if it was an old "Colt Copy" of some sort. Anyway, that's all I meant. Thanks for appreciating it!

While the gun could probably be granted amnesty, smooth bore pistols are NFA items, if the barrel is under 16 inches.

if you mean that the gun is refinished from bleu to chrome than i have to say that you are possibly may be wrong,the gun was chromed in london because of the milky color you had when colt did the chroming,the gun is listed in the colt encyclopidia as chromed and this is still the original finsish the gun has still al markings very sharp ,tommorow i wil post detailled pics of the gun
taken in daylite and as a i can assure u the gun is not in the us at this moment
