I was given a 1917 US Army Colt 45 revolver years ago. I have tried several times to try and find one similar on line but was not successful!! The gun is in great condition! Bluing is about 98%, the grips are original with no nick or dings in them. All markings and mubers match and are very visable! The cilindar is boured and in great condition also! My problem is it has an 8" barrel and every one i have found has a 5.5" barrel. I trying to see if I have a unique gun and mybe a ballpark guess on its value. Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Dinger
