The frame was made in 1908. The backstrap was made in 1881 and the trigger guard was made in 1883. Are you sure the barrel is marked .45 LC? No Colt barrel has ever been marked Long Colt because there is no such thing, that's just something people started calling the .45 Colt to distinguish it from the shorter .45 S&W.
