Of course, supplying the serial number would have been a smart idea to begin with.

The slide has the Colt patent dates on it, on the right side of the prancing pony it says "Colt's Pt. Fa. Mfg Co., Hartford, Ct., U.S.A". The serial number on the frame is No.22757XX. The frame also has three letters stamped into it just underneath the serial number; the letters are lined up with the forward edge of the right grip panel. The letters are "RIA", I am assuming they're the initials of the previous owner.

Colt's can trace the manufaturing history of the gun, but they are asking for a bunch of money for their service. Kind of difficult to justify a $100 trace on a $350 gun.

Thanks for any info you might be able to provide.
