A friend from work inherited two heavily engraved Colt New Service revolvers, by my hardly adequate google-fu I've found they were made somewhere around 1910-14, there is a stamp of a crown with numbers and letters below that I can't find anything on, according to my friend these were made for the British, they are in .455 Webley, if anyone can tell me anything else it'll be greatly appreciated.
I have recommended my friend contact Colt to see if he can get a letter regarding them.
