Forum Newbie here - Been looking for some information in regards to dating a Colt 1917 D.A. 45 US Army Revolver. I searched through some previous threads, so please accept my apology if a similar thread has been posted. Pistol has landed at me 3rd generation. Just want to have all the info ready when it's time to for me to hand it off to the 4th generation. Not really concerned about value; just like to know a little bit about it.

The revolver's cylinder serial no. reads = 186xxx

The US Army no. on the handle butt reads 33xxx.
