My father has past on to me a quite old revolver, and I am just trying to find out its heritage.

It is a Colt Model 1901 DA 38 revolver. 6-shot, .38 Long Colt from what I can tell. Wood grips, 6" barrel, fixed blade type front sight. Marked with U.S. ARMY Model 1901 on bottom of grip. Lanyard swivel, and serial number in the 140XXX's

It has R.A.C. stamped in several places on the grip and frame.

It appears to be in tremendous condition, with the blueing solid, the wood is without scratches or wear, and all markings are clear.

Can anyone provide any information on this for me? I am not looking to sell, just would like to know its history, and value beyond it being from my father.

Thanks!
