Dr. Rob:
My records indicate that you revolver was named the Colt New Service Double Action Revolver, and mfg'd in 38 Spl, 357 Mar (intro 1936) 38-40, 44-40, 44 Russian, 44 Special, 45 Auto, 45 (Long Colt) 450 Eley, 455 Eley, 476 Eley and a 6 shot cylinder. Barrel length, 4-5 " and 6' in 38 Spl and 357 Mag. 4.5", 5.5" and 7.5" in other calibers, 9 3/4" overall with 4.5" bbl. Made from 1898 to 1942. NOTE: more than 500,000 of this model in caliber 45 auto (designated Model 1917 Revolver were purchased by the U.S. Gov during WWI. these arms were later sold as surplus to National Rifle Association members through the Director of Civilian Marksmanship. Price was $16.15 + shipping. The supply exhausted in the early 1930's.

Based upon this, my records indicate your Colt is a WWI model with a value of EXC=$750.00 to POOR=$225.00.
