<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 270808, member: 54"]This plaque is attached to one of the gripstocks of a Colt Model 1860 Army revolver manufactured in 1863 (serial no. Gives us that date.). I'm interested in your estimate of the earliest date the plaque could have been engraved based on the font, date format, etc. I can add more info later but for this particular project, too much information now would be distracting and counterproductive. Not my weapon, just trying to help someone else.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/img_0162.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/img_0163.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
