A woman I've worked with for years who just lost her husband called to tell me about a Colt she'd found among his things.
She wrote down what she thought was pertinant information then turned the gun over to her son, who has no interest in it.
She said she can cover it with her hand, the last patent on the gun was 1917, and the side said "Colt DTSA." She didn't write down the caliber, but thought it was a .22 or .25.
I'm not an early Colt expert but it sounds like a Baby Browning- like .25 ACP. Does anyone have any idea what this gun might be? I won't be able to get over to her house until later in the week.
She said the SN was 373155 and that her husband was given the gun by his dad.
Thanks!
