Reply With QuoteWithout digging mine out from the back of a safe to double check the patent dates, I think you have a Colt Lightning .22. Made from 1887-1904. Yours would have been made in 1890. About 90,000 made. BTW, welcome to the forum!!
Just melted some rust from a pump action colt 22 that was in my uncle's barn for as long as i can remember.(this isn't a dear penthouse story). I dont know much about it but I discovered stampings of ser/13817 patented may29 sep 18.83:may28-85(sic)june15.86 feb 22.87. What do I have here?

Welcome aboard. For no fee you can call Colt, give them your serial number and they will give you the manufacturing date and what it is. 1-800-962-COLT

Welcome to the Forum! I agree with Chaffee, its probably a Colt Lightning .22, but I dont know very much about the old Colt Long Guns.
