New to me, U.S. Army Model 1894 No.107015. This one had the butt swivel added after the adoption of the Model 1901, and was one of the 19,000+ sent to Remington for inspection/repair in 1918. The stocks, which are not original to this revolver (numbered to a revolver with s/n 253 later), are marked with N.G.P. (National Guard of Pennsylvania) and 2 P.C.C. (2nd Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry) on the bottom. Truly a shame these old soldiers cannot speak, and their full stories will never be known.

A Colt New Army and Navy model 1895. The gun has about 50% blue with the rest turned. In .38 Long Colt, the gun is mechanically tight. All matching numbers. Made in 1901, a much better gun than the contemporary Colt Lightening. It has a 4 1/2” barrel and a number were purchased by Wells Fargo in this barrel length. The gun came with a nice early flap holster that has formed to the gun. (The gun is resting on a copy of “Firearms Identification, Vol II,” by Mathews)

Note: Looking at this Thread there were some great guns, but this model seems to have received little attention by Colt collectors on the Forum. The Thread is 13 years old and has only 167 posts. I will post a few more. Perhaps it will receive more attention.
 
Judging by the stocks, it's a New Navy.

My newly aquired Model 1901. Swivel removed and ejector rod replaced but I love it! After poling some of the experts on the forum it appears likely to have been in the possession M Troop, 7th CAV in 1904 and st thst time they were in the Philippines.
