Description:
I have a Colt revolver including holster. It shows Colt D.A. 38 on the side of the barrel, and the butt shows it is one of the 5000 Model 1889 Colts built for the Navy: "USN, 38D/A, No, 4694, P, W.W.K., 1889". The top of the barrel shows "Patented Aug 5, 1884 Nov 6 88 Mar 5 95". The serial number on the cylinder and locking pin is 4725 as opposed to the 4694 on the butt. The Colt cylinder was therefore modified sometime after 1895. The grip is Mahogany wood rather that the hard rubber issued for the Navy Colts. The gun is in excellent working condition with most of the blue finish intact.
The gun belonged to my wife's grandfather, Adm. Arthur Dewey Struble, who was Gen. McArthur's naval commander when he freed the Phillipines from the Japanese at the end of WW2 and for the Inchon invasion in Korea. He was not old enought to be issued this gun, but it belonged to him.
