It looks like it was made in 1885. try proofhouse.com for serial #s. You may want a Colt letter wait is around 120 days. I'm very new to the forum so maybe someone will correct me or confirm the date.
First time post. I have 1883 Colt Hammerless Shotgun Serial Number 1186. Can anyone provide me with some information on this shotgun? I also need a few parts. The ebony forearm tip is missing and the buttplate is cracked. Does anyone have an extra or replacement parts?
Thanks,
CQ

Try vintagegungrips.com for a replacement buttplate. I have one on my 1883 that had a rubber recoil pad on when I bought it. Your going to have to find someone that can shape a piece of ebony to replace what is missing on yours.
Thanks for the info
