AJB - thank you so much. I've been able to find the different I.E and E references on the colt guns. I.E. = Ivory grip/engraved and E = engraved. So much history in these old guns. They are absolutely amazing.
Hello - I'm new to this world of engraving so I'm looking for any help I can get. I recently aquired this 1851 - it's a beautiful gun. The SN is one of the later ones...1865 manufactured date....but Colt lost these records in one of their fires. So I'm looking for any help on the engraving...
